GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Everything in healthcare is about quality. Providers and patients want the best quality care possible in delivering care and receiving care. Interprofessional collaboration rises to the top when researchers assess systems for the care of back pain like appropriate use of screening and preventive services. (1) Researchers have also put together 70 quality indicators for chiropractic delivery that are standardized and evidence-based that take into consideration patient concerns and higher clinical outcomes. (2) Physical activity certainly is a part of a quality chiropractic healthcare plan for Minster pain relief.
BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN
In a recent survey, chiropractors conveyed that the biggest concern they held in treating back pain patients was patient follow through (exercises, appointments, at-home recommendations, etc.). (3) In another survey, 90% of chiropractors stated that they were optimistic about healthier patient lifestyles. These chiropractors also shared that they were actively engaged in promoting physical activity, recommending exercises to patients for their particular issue, asking how the exercises are going, and counseling patients in the proper way to do exercises as well as value of doing exercises. (4) One way that patients seem to respond more positively and be more willing to do physical activity is the use of a mobile application. Apps that are build built around reported pain, pain intensity, and app features like audio explanation and animation of each exercise are well received. (5) Doing the right exercises in the right way typically brings about the rightfully desired outcome.
ADD IN SOME DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING!
Core stabilization exercises are commonly recommended to back pain patients. One new study that added in diaphragmatic breathing exercises noted many advantages for chronic low back pain patients: improved muscle activity, chest expansion, quality of sleep, improved disability and physical activity and pain scores, decreased fear avoidance, and better physical activity, among others.
