Guidelines. There are guidelines everywhere!
This post discusses some of the newer
guidelines for interprofessional teamwork between chiropractors and other
healthcare providers to enhance the healing of Manahawkin back
pain and neck pain sufferers. Exercises are a core part of back
pain prevention as well as management that all providers encourage
and all providers worry are not
always carried out. Chiropractors like your own
at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center are health promoters and work to do that in the kindest,
most helpful way! We can work
together to get you better.
GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Quality in healthcare delivery is discussed a lot. Providers and
patients want the highest quality care possible in
delivering care and receiving care. Interprofessional
collaboration rises to the top when researchers
analyze systems for the care of back pain like appropriate
use of screening and preventive services. (1) Researchers have also put
together 70 quality indicators for chiropractic
delivery that are standardized and evidence-based that take
into account patient concerns and enhanced
clinical outcomes. (2) Physical activity surely is a part
of a quality chiropractic healthcare plan for Manahawkin pain relief.
BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN
In a recent survey, chiropractors conveyed
that the biggest concern they held in managing back
pain patients was patient follow through (exercises, appointments, at-home instructions,
etc.). (3) In another survey, 90% of chiropractors stated
that they had a positive opinion about healthier patient
lifestyles. These chiropractors also shared that they were actively
engaged in promoting physical activity, recommending
exercises to patients for their particular condition, asking
how the exercises are going, and advising patients in the
proper way to do exercises as well as benefit that comes from exercising. (4) One way that patients seem
to respond more positively and be more willing to do
physical activity is the use of a mobile app. Such
apps help handle low back and neck pain patients when they
are built around reported pain, pain intensity, and structure of the app like audio
explanation and animation of each exercise. (5) Doing the right exercises in the right way typically
produces the rightfully desired outcome.
ADD IN SOME DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING!
Core stabilization exercises are commonly
recommended to back pain patients. One new study that incorporated diaphragmatic breathing exercises noted many advantages
for chronic low back pain patients: enhanced muscle activity, chest
expansion, quality of sleep, improved disability and physical activity
and pain scores, decreased fear avoidance, and increased
physical activity, among others. (6) As a partner on
your healthcare team, your chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center feels a responsibility
to encourage physical activity so that you can take care of you. Our younger Manahawkin back
pain and neck pain sufferers get positive results. Our older adults who have aches and pains and/or back pain and/or neck pain get
positive results, too!
