Minster Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Routine Exercise

Independence. It’s a worthy quality. Most of the time. When it comes to exercise, getting a little guidance more often is better. Minster Chiropractic Center is ready to be your guide! Minster back pain sufferers can depend on Minster Chiropractic Center to establish, demonstrate and supervise a pain-relieving exercise routine specially for you!

BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE

Research shows that supervised exercise therapy allows significant symptom relief and improved quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by increasing maximal walking distance in just 3 months. Sadly, it’s not put in to practice 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) Minster back pain patients may benefit in the same manner these back pain sufferers do. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would value walking more in such a way!

MORE FREQUENT SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL

A recent report states that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients gave significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function compared with unsupervised. (2) A follow-up study evaluated a more specialized schedule of supervised physical therapy visits – two times a week and one time a week - to home exercise. It reports specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy two times a week for lumbar spinal stenosis patients brought about 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 exclusively. (3) Our Minster back pain patients would embrace all these improvements, without a doubt!

EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN

Improvement is the goal in managing back pain. Independence only takes you so far when dealing with back pain. There is always a tipping point when the pain just can’t be put up with any more! Then a visit to the doctor is arranged. Many articles are written about how the doctor seen first often sets the course for subsequent care. (That was the subject of another blog!) Concerning exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too rarely used while opioid prescriptions are very common in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy visits. (4) Minster Chiropractic Center is honored to partner with you for back pain relief. Your Minster chiropractor is an experienced Minster back pain specialist whose treatment plan incorporates the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management and exercise.
