Fernandina Beach Exercise for Back Pain Relief: Whats Best? Good Question!
An age-old chiropractic patient question: “What is the best exercise I can do to get rid of this back pain?”
We all want the one “right” answer to make things better. We like to “just do it” and be finished. Recognizing just what the right thing is is the conundrum even for researchers and for your Fernandina Beach chiropractor. The secret for all involved – researcher, doctor, patient – is getting to know the patient. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic gets to understand each of our back pain patients to know better which exercise(s) may make the most difference. Our chiropractic services are here to help.
WHAT TO DO?
Researchers grapple with knowing what the right back pain relieving exercise(s) is, too. A group of them reviewed 118 back pain exercise trials with 9710 volunteers. They discovered that the most effective exercise types for relieving pain were mind-body, core-based exercise, and Pilates. They found that the most effective means to reduce disability were Pilates, core-based, and strength exercises. According to a special scoring system know as SUCRA which measures the rates the probability of an approach’s being effective revealed that Pilates ranked highest with 93% for likelihood of decreasing pain and 98% for decreasing disability. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic will agree that those are impressive effectiveness scores!
BUT WHAT ABOUT…?
Other studies focuse on the effectiveness of other exercises, too. An analysis of 89 studies/5578 patients dedicated to determining the effectiveness of exercise for non-specific chronic low back pain reported that Pilates had the highest probability of easing pain, resistance training and stabilization/motor control exercise for enhancing physical function, and resistance and aerobic training for improving mental health. (2) Pilates came out ahead again! Then, in a 414 chronic low back pain patient study, core stability exercise decreased pain more and improved function better than general exercise. (3) And for back pain sufferers with a lumbar disc herniation, stretch and strength-based yoga proved itself to be a possible option to enhance associated neuropathic pain, disability, and function in these patients by increasing mobilization, core muscle strength, and hamstring flexibility. (4) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic doesn’t want to puzzle you or lead you astray! We will just urge you to try a few of our suggestions and see how good they help you.
