Minster Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise

“Do I have to exercise?”

“Yes, you should if you want to feel better quicker and prevent pain,“ your Minster chiropractic encourages.

“How long do I have to exercise every day?”

“Not long, just effectively,” Minster Chiropractic Center advises.

Exercise is not every Minster back pain or neck pain patient’s ‘cup of tea’. Minster Chiropractic Center understands. Exercise is also so vital to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our Minster chiropractic patients all along the way to make the most of the exercise effort so that it pays off in pain relief and prevention.

OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Neck pain sufferers realize how pain may decrease their ability to look around comfortably. Such neck pain patients were tested for their cervical range of motion and pain intensity with a flexion-rotation test. They were then directed to do a 20-minutes cervical spine exercise session. 50% of them were then also treated with manual therapy applied to the C0-C1 and C2-C3 cervical spine levels. Those who performed the exercise program and received manual therapy managed significantly better in terms of range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another study found that the optimal stretching time of cervical muscles in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome was 30 seconds as contrasted with 15 or 60 seconds or no stretching. This allowed the most benefit to pain intensity reduction while diminishing any negative effects on neural function of the affected nerve roots and central nervous system. (2) Minster Chiropractic Center always stresses that the proper exercise done in proper form does not have to take long to be useful! Plus, exercise lays some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be performed anytime.

OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Incorporating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain does make sense. This type of back pain involves so many people around the world and is a leading cause of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain patient to self-management. Recently, researchers proposed that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health issues in such back pain patients - were improved with options like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise. (3) Minster Chiropractic Center agrees! Exercise is invaluable in so many ways.
