Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Tonawanda Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women requires some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Tonawanda chiropractor at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation offer attention! Women with back pain are a special subset of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Tonawanda BACK PAIN
A recent report shared that low back pain in older women is linked to abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women described in this study also experienced decreased mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these issues together? Muscle. Researchers explained that muscle weakness directly tied low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was highlighted that exercise enhanced these issues.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Tonawanda chiropractic patients with back pain want pain relief. That’s the goal of care. Our patients frequently try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating sever patients need to be treated for one patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A recent study found that these options many times deliver clinically meaningful pain reduction as shown by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works in the long run though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the single intervention that demonstrated sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We present this to encourage exercise for all our Tonawanda back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused about women with low back pain, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation urges our older female patients to exercise. It’s central to the chiropractic treatment plan that involves simple exercises as the starting point!
