Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts life for its sufferers. Sandy Springs chronic low back pain
sufferers want their lives back. Cross Chiropractic Center
has a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do just
that. The treatment plan often incorporates chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic as well as gentle
exercise and nutrition. A couple recent
insights about effective exercise interventions are shared here
for our Sandy Springs back pain patients’ consideration as it’s
for you to decide to choose what exercise suits you!
WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis
of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of
chronic low back pain and slightly superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial
for pain and activity limitation improvement
in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga
was proposed as a valuable combination
for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga was said
to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term when compared with
non-exercise, usual care, and education. But it had equal
effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can walk. Some like physical
therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they so desire.
Cross Chiropractic Center knows not every exercise option may be
our Sandy Springs back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are key to participation...and Cross Chiropractic Center has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that up-to-date
evidence does not propose that any one
form of exercise is superior to any other for back
pain relief. That is interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP,
a substantial health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common form of exercise for back pain relief was described as
being motor control exercise working
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not
superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an option for chronic low back pain patients among
other kinds of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her
doctor/therapist. (3) Cross Chiropractic Center chats with each Sandy Springs back
pain sufferer to learn about what exercise will work and will be
performed. That is the key!
