Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Concord, NC Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women requires some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Concord, NC chiropractor at Pure Chiropractic provide that attention! Women who suffer back pain are a special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we love to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Concord, NC 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 reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What ties these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers explained that muscle weakness clearly linked low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise improved these issues.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Concord, NC chiropractic patients with back pain desire pain relief. That is the aim of care. Our patients frequently try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 meaning 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 often deliver clinically meaningful pain decrease as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works over time though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the single intervention that showed sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period ended was exercise. (2) We share this to encourage exercise for all our Concord, NC back pain (and neck pain) patients. For purposes of this article on women with low back pain, Pure Chiropractic urges our older women patients to exercise. It is part of the chiropractic treatment plan that involves simple exercises as the starting point!
