Exercise Improves Sleep and Tonawanda Back Pain
Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What ties them together? Exercise! Tonawanda chiropractic patients come to realize that acting on this one little recommendation to exercise – even just walking! – in their Tonawanda chiropractic treatment plan pays off in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What is acknowledged about the sleep and pain connection? It is known that sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain patient’s outlook on life. Having Tonawanda back pain can be depressing if it lasts for too long (more than 12 weeks) without respite as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all recommend exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned if poor sleep stops these patients from exercising. (2) Good question! Other researchers then reported that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and rejuventate for the next day’s adventures. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer undertakes the next day with less than optimal capability. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation wants all Tonawanda chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to cope with their Tonawanda back pain and do what they can for Tonawanda back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is commonly suggested to Tonawanda back pain sufferers in aiding their path to Tonawanda back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is reported to be quite useful in the management of sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a review of 26 chronic back pain patients who performed stabilization exercise for only 8 weeks in a row, everything got better: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people from 1 to 91 years old found that better sleep quality is tied to routine physical activity. This study also found that patients over 40 years of age with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced poorer sleep and yet they spent more time lying down. (3) As your Tonawanda back pain specialist, your Tonawanda chiropractor takes a look at the whole Tonawanda back pain patient and examines any and all factors when suggesting an exercise plan individualized for each Tonawanda back pain sufferer.
