January 2019 Concord, NC Chiropractic Healthy News: Walking, Spinal Manipulation, & Exercise

 

Walking is vital for Concord, NC living. How often do you think about walking? How many times are you thankful for being able to walk? Most Concord, NC folks do not give walking a second thought until we or a Concord, NC loved one can not do it or isn’t able do it as easily as we once did. Chronic non-specific low back pain tends to affect Concord, NC back pain patients’ motor control when trying to walk normally. It is thought that the erector spinae are operating intensely in these patients, leading to a stiff lumbar-pelvic region and more difficult time walking. (1) A new report shows that spinal manipulation in combination with individualized exercise improves the walking ability in back pain patients like those Pure Chiropractic sees every day who are dealing with lumbar spinal stenosis better than medical care (medications/epidural steroid injections) and/or group exercise in the short term. (2) Further, spinal manipulation for patients with lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) also benefits the relief of leg and back pain, disability, range of motion and patient satisfaction. (3) The Concord, NC chiropractic care at Pure Chiropractic uses one or all these tactics as needed to get you the Concord, NC back pain relief you want and protect your walking ability without your giving it a second thought.
