Fernandina Beach Back Pain Relief with Exercise & Chiropractic
As any sufferer of Fernandina Beach back pain understands, getting relief can be challenging. Many have tried multiple treatments and healthcare providers. But did you know that exercise could be just the right addition to your attempts at getting back pain relief? According to the CHAMPS Study-DK, associations between cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be affected by sex and health-related physical activity. (1) To put it another way, exercise can help reduce back pain. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic shares some information about how this works.
HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH Fernandina Beach BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has proven itself beneficial for those who experience chronic back pain in several ways. First, it strengthens the muscles in your core and lower back which support your spine and lessen strain on it. Strengthening these muscles can help alleviate some of the pressure placed on your spine and decrease the amount of back pain you experience due to bad posture or bad habits like slouching. Further, exercise helps boost flexibility in your joints; it enhances blood circulation which helps advance healing; and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help lessen inflammation related to chronic back pain. (2,3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is valuable to note that when initiating an exercise program for Fernandina Beach back pain relief, you should start slowly and gradually raise the intensity over time as your body adjusts. It is also valuable to choose low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming rather than high impact exercises like running or jumping because these can place extra strain on your spine and irritate rather than help. Having said that, moderate aerobic exercise mixing strengthening and stretching exercises has been shown to be effective in decreasing lower back pain for many back pain sufferers with chronic conditions like back pain. Fernandina Beach back pain patients have a great exercise partner at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic as researchers note that chiropractors actively promote (and participate in their own) physical activity by offering exercise information, questioning patients about their physical activity level, and advising back pain patients about proper exercises to help their conditions.
