Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts life for its sufferers. Manahawkin chronic low back pain
sufferers look forward to getting their lives back. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
offers a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do just
that. The treatment plan often incorporates chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic along with gentle
exercise and nutrition. A couple new
insights about effective exercise interventions are shared here
for our Manahawkin back pain patients’ consideration as it’s
for you to decide to select 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
to reduce pain and improve activity
in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking
was proposed as a valuable combination
for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga reportedly decreased pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term compared to
non-exercise, usual care, and education. However it had the same
effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can walk. Some like physical
therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they want.
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows not every exercise option may be
our Manahawkin back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options
are essential to participation...and Manahawkin Chiropractic Center has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that present
evidence doesn’t suggest that any one
form of exercise is superior to any other for back
pain relief. That is interesting! They did report that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain,
a significant health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common type of exercise for back pain relief was described as
being motor control exercise which works
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not
superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an option for chronic low back pain patients among
other types of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her
doctor/therapist. (3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center talks with each Manahawkin back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
performed. That’s the most important factor!
