Minster Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Routine Exercise
Independence. It is a worthy quality. Most of the time. When it comes to exercise, seeking 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 an exercise routine that is pain relieving specially for you!
BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE
Research shows that supervised exercise therapy produces significant symptom relief and bettered quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by increasing maximal walking distance in just 90 days. Sadly, it’s underutilized. Home based exercise therapy with observation devices like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other beneficial alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the desired independence. (1) Minster back pain patients may benefit just like these back pain patients. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would value walking more in such a way!
MORE REGULAR SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL
A newer study reports 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 weekly - to home exercise. It reports specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy two times weekly for lumbar spinal stenosis patients allowed significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance compared with once a week PT visits and home exercise exclusively. (3) Our Minster back pain patients would welcome all these improvements, no 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 dealt with any longer! Then a trip to the doctor is planned. Many articles are written about the choice of healthcare provider a back pain sufferer sees first sets the course for subsequent care. (That was the subject of another blog!) Regarding exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too rarely used while opioid prescriptions are most ordinarly 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.
