Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Routine Exercise
Independence. It’s a worthy quality. Most of the time. When it comes to exercise, accepting a little guidance more often is better. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is equipped to be your guide! Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers can count on Amelia Chiropractic Clinic to establish, demonstrate and supervise an exercise routine that is pain relieving specially for you!
BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE
Research demonstrates that supervised exercise therapy allows significant symptom relief and bettered quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by increasing maximal walking distance in just 90 days. Sadly, it’s not used enough. Home based exercise therapy with observation tools like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other beneficial alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the desired independence. (1) Fernandina Beach back pain patients may benefit just like these back pain patients. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would value walking more in such a way!
MORE FREQUENT SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL
A recent study reports that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients provided significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function in comparison to unsupervised. (2) A follow-up study evaluated a more specific schedule of supervised physical therapy visits – two times a week and one time weekly - to home exercise. It states specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy twice weekly for lumbar spinal stenosis patients provided significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance rather than once a week PT visits and home exercise alone. (3) Our Fernandina Beach back pain patients would embrace all these improvements, without a doubt!
EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN
Improvement is the goal in managing back pain. Independence only takes you so far when dealing with back pain. There’s always a tipping point when the pain just cannot be dealt with any longer! Then a trip to the doctor is planned. Many articles are written about the choice of healthcare provider a back pain sufferer sees first sets the course for resulting care. (That was the topic of another blog!) Concerning exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too rarely used while opioid prescriptions are most ordinarly in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy visits. (4) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is honored to be chosen for back pain relief.
