Exercise. Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers get
the recommendation to exercise often. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
recommends it, too. Exercise keeps showing its
benefit for low back pain relief
and prevention…plus a new report shows benefit for improved
sleep quality!
EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a problem for the low back pain
sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare
providers and researchers analyze proposed
long-term ways to decrease this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise tops the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations along with manual therapy and
massage. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
is the Fernandina Beach back pain specialty clinic that many back pain sufferers visit.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Countless chronic back pain sufferers visit their primary care practitioners
first. it is a pretty standard routing. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care typically
involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research,
there is an interesting statistic called “number to treat”
which indicates the number of patients with a certain
condition who need to go through the treatment
recommendation for 1 of them to report
benefit. In this recent study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low
back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs
10. Of these three options, exercise was the only intervention that showed
continued chronic low back pain relief after the intervention
ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a valuable,
self-management, non-drug alternative for chronic low back pain
patients. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic always incorporates it in the
Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some
control of chronic low back pain in our Fernandina Beach chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
An additional beneficial patient-controlled
option is the sleep and exercise option.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many
Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic often hears our
patients talk about sleep difficulties. Sleep is renewing
for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes prescribed to
address sleep and mood issues. An interesting study about
the relationship between sleep and exercise highlights some interesting
findings in young men and women. Each is different! Men who exercised more frequently
reported falling asleep faster, less daytime trouble,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went
to bed early, had better sleep
quality, and described more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is key for so many concerns!
