Fernandina Beach Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise a few years ago. Speed may have been a goal at one time. Distance may have been the aim. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is a worthy target for back pain sufferers seeking Fernandina Beach back pain relief. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic suggests walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for peak walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR Fernandina Beach BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is frequently recommended to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented as being effective for low back pain relief. But what about walking? Amelia Chiropractic Clinic urges Fernandina Beach back pain patients to not tag on the word “just” before “walking”! Walking alone is an amazingly healing activity. Walking is central to everyday life. Walking is one thing many of us underappreciate until we can’t walk or something like back pain stops us from walking like we used to. A new research report supports this: Walking more than an hour and a half each week was associated with a lesser risk of self-reported low back pain in adults who are 50 years old and over. 90 minutes is not much; regular walking for 30 minutes a day three days a week is best. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic suggests that our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients walk.

CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING

Visiting a licensed chiropractor increases walking distance. A new research article discovered that an all-inclusive non-operative training which included an exercise program guided by a chiropractor improved back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, decreased pain and increased walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis patients. (2) That’s significant! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and encourages walking 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time. Being able to walk any distance for thirty minutes is important!
