Tonawanda Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Routine Exercise
Independence. It is an admirable quality. Sometimes. When it comes to exercise, getting a little guidance more often is better. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is ready to be your guide! Tonawanda back pain sufferers can count on Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation to set up, demonstrate and supervise an exercise routine that is pain relieving just for you!
BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE
Research shows that supervised exercise therapy produces significant symptom relief and improved quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by increasing maximal walking distance in just three months. Sadly, it’s not used enough. Home based exercise therapy with observation tools like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other beneficial alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the preferred independence. (1) Tonawanda back pain patients may benefit in the same way these back pain sufferers do. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would appreciate walking more in such a way!
MORE REGULAR SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL
A newer report states that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients gave significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function compared with unsupervised. (2) A follow-up study compared a more specialized schedule of supervised physical therapy visits – twice a week and one time weekly - to home exercise. It reports specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy two times a week for lumbar spinal stenosis patients provided significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance compared with once a week PT visits and home exercise alone. (3) Our Tonawanda back pain patients would welcome all these improvements, undoubtedly!
EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN
Improvement is the goal for back pain management. Independence only takes you so far when your back is hurting. There’s always a tipping point when the pain just can’t be dealt with any more! Then a visit to the doctor is planned. Many articles are written about the choice of healthcare provider a back pain sufferer sees first sets the course for subsequent care. (That was the topic of another blog!) Regarding exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too infrequently used while opioid prescriptions are most ordinarly in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy sessions.
