WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of chronic low back pain and slightly superior for intermediate term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more effective for pain and activity limitation improvement in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga was proposed as a beneficial combination for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials, yoga reportedly decreased pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve functional disability from short to long term when compared with non-exercise, usual care, and education. But it had equal effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy. (2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some like physical therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they want. Pure Chiropractic knows not every exercise option may be our Concord, NC back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options are essential to participation...and Pure Chiropractic has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that up-to-date evidence doesn’t indicate that any one form of exercise is better than any other for back pain relief. That’s interesting! They did report that exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain, a significant health and socioeconomic issue (cost, disability, missed work). The most common form of exercise for back pain relief was described as being motor control exercise which works on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should be an alternative for chronic low back pain patients among other forms of exercise. The researchers suggested that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her doctor/therapist. (3) Pure Chiropractic chats with each Concord, NC back pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be performed. That’s the key!
