Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts life for its sufferers. Fernandina Beach chronic low back pain
sufferers want their lives back. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
follows a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do exactly
that. The treatment plan often involves chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic along with gentle
exercise and nutrition. A couple recent
insights about effective exercise interventions are presented here
for our Fernandina Beach back pain patients’ consideration as it’s
for you to decide to choose what exercise suits you!
WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis
of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of
chronic low back pain and somewhat superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial
for pain and activity limitation improvement
in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking
was suggested to be a beneficial combination
for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga was said
to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term when compared with
non-exercise, usual care, and education. However it had similar
effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can walk. Some enjoy physical
therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they want.
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows not every exercise option may be
our Fernandina Beach back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are key to participation...and Amelia Chiropractic Clinic has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that current
evidence does not suggest that any single
type of exercise is better than any other for back
pain relief. That is interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain,
a significant health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common form of exercise for back pain relief was reported as motor control exercise working
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not
superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an option for chronic low back pain patients among
other kinds of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what
works. (3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic chats with each Fernandina Beach back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
done. That’s the most important factor!
