BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Many chronic back pain sufferers find themselves going to their primary care practitioners first. it is a pretty normal experience. Primary care recommendations for chronic low back pain care usually involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research, there is an interesting statistic called “number to treat” which indicates the number of patients with a certain condition who need to go through the treatment recommendation for 1 of the treatment recipients to get benefit. In this new study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs 10. Of these three options, exercise was the only intervention that showed sustained chronic low back pain relief after the intervention ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a valuable, self-management, non-drug alternative for chronic low back pain patients. Minster Chiropractic Center always incorporates it in the Minster chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some control of chronic low back pain in our Minster chiropractic patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
Another beneficial patient-controlled alternative is the sleep and exercise option. Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many Minster chiropractic patients. Minster Chiropractic Center often hears our patients bring up sleep difficulties. Sleep is rejuvenating for the body and the mind. Exercise is often prescribed to address sleep and mood issues. An interesting study about the relationship between sleep and exercise highlights some interesting findings in young women and men. Each is different! Men who exercised more frequently reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime issues, and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more often went to bed early, experienced better sleep quality, and described more benefit from sleep, less depressive mood, and less anger.
