Fernandina Beach Exercise Helps Cope with Pain and Aging
"If you don't keep going, you're gonna die." Now, there’s a title to a research paper! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic was even startled a bit, but it is true. No matter your age, your pain, your life plan, we all have to keep moving forward! This is never more real for middle- to older-age Fernandina Beach back and neck pain sufferers. Fortunately, Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is here to help.
ANTI-AGING EXERCISE BENEFITS
We all start considering anti-aging benefits at a certain age! One group of researchers wrote that regular exercise has multi-system anti-aging effects and called for more research to acquire knowledge of just how molecular mediators of exercise benefits work in older folks instead of just looking for pharmaceuticals. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic enthusiastically agrees! Walking is great! This an important message for all Fernandina Beach pain sufferers!
BENEFICIAL DAILY EXERCISE STEPS
Take a walking stroll each day with a goal of 7000 steps. Why? Research. 2,110 black and white men and women and their steps-per-day counts were followed. They sported an accelerometer from 2005 to 2006 and then were monitored for a mean of 10.8 years. Their stats were analyzed in 2020 and 2021 to see what, if any, association was made between steps-per-day and all-mortality death risk. This study was part of the larger CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study. Steps-taken-per-day were defined as “low” (less than 7000), “moderate” (7000-9999) and “high” (more than 10,000). Stepping intensity – stepping rate – played a role, too. Moderate/high step rate was associated with a decreased risk of mortality in black and white women and men in middle-age who walked 7000 steps or more a day compared with those who took less. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic sees how walking helps – 7000 steps or not – and encourages Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients to take walks as best they can. Any walk works!
EXERCISE HELPS COPING WITH PAIN
How do most Fernandina Beach back pain patients deal with chronic low back pain? Some of the things people may say or feel are these:
- I feel helpless because nothing works.
- I feel down and depressed.
- I distantly wish for an end to it.
- I accept the reality of my pain.
- The pain stays, I keep going.
What about you? There’s no right or wrong answer. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic sees them all! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is by everyone’s side. We meet each back pain sufferer – old or young, active or inactive – where each one is. We create a treatment plan together.
