Tonawanda Back Pain Relief with Exercise & Chiropractic
As any Tonawanda back pain patient understands, finding relief can be a challenge. You may have visited various healthcare providers with different treatments. But did you know that exercise could be an extra notch in the key to relieving your back pain? According to the CHAMPS Study-DK, links between cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be affected by sex and health-related physical activity. (1) In other words, exercise can help decrease back pain. Let’s take a look at how this works.
HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH Tonawanda BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has proven to be beneficial for those who experience chronic back pain in a multitude of ways. First, it strengthens core and lower back muscles which support your spine and decrease strain on it. Strengthening these muscles can help ease some of the pressure exerted on your spine and lower the amount of back pain you feel due to poor posture or poor habits like slouching. Further, exercise helps boost flexibility in your joints; it boosts blood circulation which helps further healing; and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help reduce inflammation related to chronic back pain. (2,3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is valuable to realize that when starting an exercise program for Tonawanda back pain relief, you should start gently and gradually raise the intensity over time as your body adapts. It is also important to select low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming rather than high impact exercises like running or jumping as these can put extra strain on your spine and aggravate rather than improve. With that, moderate aerobic exercise combined with stretching and strengthening exercises has been proven helpful in decreasing lower back pain for many back pain sufferers with chronic conditions like back pain. Tonawanda back pain patients have a great exercise coach at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation as researchers write that chiropractors actively endorse (and participate in their own) physical activity by providing exercise information, questioning patients about their physical activity level, and counseling back pain patients about suitable exercises to help their conditions.
