Tonawanda Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise when you were younger. Speed may have been a goal at one time. Distance may have been the aim. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is an excellent goal for back pain sufferers seeking Tonawanda back pain relief. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation encourages walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for peak walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR Tonawanda BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is usually recommended to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented as being effective for relief of low back pain. But walking alone is not talked about as much? Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation encourages Tonawanda back pain patients to not add the word “just” ahead of “walking”! Walking alone is a remarkably healing activity. Walking is essential to everyday life. Walking is one thing so many of us take for granted until we can’t walk or something like back pain prevents us from walking like we once did. A new study verifies this: Walking more than 90 minutes a week was related to a lower risk of self-reported low back pain in adults who are 50 years old and over. 90 minutes is not much; regular walking for 30 minutes daily three times a week is optimal. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation suggests that our Tonawanda chiropractic patients walk.

CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING

Seeing a licensed chiropractor improves walking distance. A recent report discovered that an all-inclusive non-surgical training which involved an exercise program directed by a chiropractor enhanced back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, eased pain and increased walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis patients. (2) That is important! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and encourages walking 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time. Having the ability to walk any distance for a half hour is valuable!
