Concord, NC Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Routine Exercise
Independence. It is a worthy quality. Most of the time. When it comes to exercise, getting some guidance more often is better. Pure Chiropractic is ready to be your guide! Concord, NC back pain sufferers can rely on Pure Chiropractic to establish, demonstrate and supervise a pain-relieving exercise routine just for you!
BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE
Research demonstrates that supervised exercise therapy allows significant symptom relief and bettered quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by increasing maximal walking distance in just 90 days. Sadly, it’s not used enough. Home based exercise therapy with observation devices like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other valuable alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the preferred independence. (1) Concord, NC back pain patients may benefit just like these back pain patients. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would appreciate walking more in such a way!
MORE FREQUENT SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL
A newer study reports that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients delivered significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function in comparison to unsupervised. (2) A follow-up study compared a more specialized schedule of supervised physical therapy visits – two times a week and once a week - to home exercise. It reports specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy twice weekly for lumbar spinal stenosis patients allowed significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance rather than one time a week PT visits and home exercise alone. (3) Our Concord, NC back pain patients would embrace all these improvements, no doubt!
EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN
Improvement is the goal for back pain management. Independence only gets you so far when your back is hurting. There’s always a tipping point when the pain just cannot be dealt with any longer! Then a visit to the doctor is arranged. Many articles are written about the choice of healthcare provider a back pain sufferer sees first sets the course for subsequent care. (That was the subject of another blog!) Regarding exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too infrequently used while opioid prescriptions are most ordinarly in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy sessions. (4) Pure Chiropractic is honored to be chosen for back pain relief.
