Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation follows a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do just that.

A couple new insights about effective exercise interventions are shared here for our Tonawanda back pain patients’ consideration as it is for you to decide to select what exercise works for 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 was found to be 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 effective 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 reportedly decreased 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. But it had equal effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy. (2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some enjoy physical therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they want. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation understands that not every exercise option may be our Tonawanda back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options are key to participation...and Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One set of researchers wrote that up-to-date evidence does not suggest that any single type of exercise is superior to any other for back pain relief. That is interesting! They did state that exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP, a major 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 working on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should be an alternative for chronic low back pain patients among other kinds of exercise. The researchers indicated that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what works. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation chats with each Tonawanda back pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be performed. That is the most important factor!
