Plainville Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise a few years ago. Speed may have been a goal once. Distance may have been the target. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is an excellent aim for back pain sufferers seeking Plainville back pain relief. Layden Chiropractic suggests walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for prime walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR Plainville BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is normally recommended to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented as being effective for relief of low back pain. But what about walking? Layden Chiropractic encourages Plainville back pain patients to not tag on the word “just” before “walking”! Walking itself is a remarkably healing activity. Walking is fundamental to everyday life. Walking is something many of us take for granted until we can’t walk or something like back pain prevents us from walking like we used to. A new study verifies this: Walking more than ninety minutes each week was associated with a lesser risk of self-reported low back pain in adults over 50 years of age. 90 minutes is not bad; regular walking for 30 minutes a day three days a week is optimal.

CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING

Seeing a licensed chiropractor improves walking distance. A new research report discovered that a comprehensive non-surgical training which included an exercise program guided by a chiropractor improved back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, eased pain and improved walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis patients. (2) That is significant! Layden Chiropractic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and encourages walking 30 minutes three times a week. Being able to walk any distance for a half hour is important!
