Plainville Back Pain Relief with Exercise & Chiropractic
As any sufferer of Plainville back pain understands, finding relief can be a challenge. You may have visited various healthcare providers with different treatments. But did you know that exercise could be just the right addition to your attempts at getting back pain relief? According to the CHAMPS Study-DK, associations between cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be moderated by sex and health-related physical activity. (1) In other words, exercise can help reduce back pain. Layden Chiropractic shares some information about how this works.
HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH Plainville BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has demonstrated itself beneficial for those who experience chronic back pain in a multitude of ways. First, it strengthens the muscles in your core and lower back which support your spine and reduce strain on it. Strengthening these muscles can help ease some of the pressure exerted on your spine and lower the amount of back pain you feel due to bad posture or bad habits like slouching. Additionally, exercise helps increase flexibility in your joints; it boosts blood circulation which helps further healing; and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help reduce inflammation related to chronic back pain. (2,3) Layden Chiropractic combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is valuable to realize that when initiating an exercise program for Plainville back pain relief, you should start gently and gradually raise the intensity over time as your body adjusts. It is also valuable to select low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming rather than high impact exercises such as running or jumping as these can place additional strain on your spine and aggravate rather than improve. Having said that, moderate aerobic exercise mixing strengthening and stretching exercises has been proven effective in decreasing lower back pain for many back pain sufferers with chronic conditions like back pain. Plainville back pain patients have a great exercise partner at Layden Chiropractic as researchers explain that chiropractors actively promote (and participate in their own) physical activity by providing exercise information, asking patients about their physical activity level, and counseling back pain patients about proper exercises for their specific conditions.
