Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Minster Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women requires some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Minster chiropractor at Minster Chiropractic Center offer attention! Women who suffer back pain are a special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Minster BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back pain among older women is linked to abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women included in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these issues together? Muscle. Researchers explained that muscle weakness directly linked low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise improved these factors. (1) Minster Chiropractic Center sees over and over the benefit of exercise for our Minster back pain patients.
EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Minster chiropractic patients with back pain desire pain relief. That is the aim of care. Our patients frequently see other healthcare providers who recommend options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 meaning sever patients need to be treated for one patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study reported that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain reduction as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works in the long run though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the one intervention that showed sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We present this to foster the practice of exercise for all our Minster back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused on women with low back pain, Minster Chiropractic Center encourages our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It’s central to the chiropractic treatment plan that incorporates simple exercises as the beginning point!
