Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Fernandina Beach Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women demands some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic provide that attention! Women who suffer back pain are a special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Fernandina Beach BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back pain among older women stems from abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women included in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers explained that muscle weakness clearly linked low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise improved these factors.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients with back pain desire pain relief. That’s the aim of care. Our patients often see other healthcare providers who recommend options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating 7 patients need to be treated for 1 patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study reported that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain decrease as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat statistics. Which works in the long run though? Exercise. The researchers explained that the single intervention that showed sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We share this to foster the practice of exercise for all our Fernandina Beach back pain (and neck pain) patients. For purposes of this article about women with low back pain, Amelia Chiropractic Clinic urges our older women patients to exercise. It’s part of the chiropractic treatment plan that includes simple exercises as the beginning point!
