Chronic low back pain (CLBP) slows
life down for its sufferers. Plainville chronic low back pain
sufferers look forward to getting their lives back. Layden Chiropractic
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. Some recent
insights about effective exercise interventions are presented here
for our Plainville back pain patients’ consideration as it is
up to you to select 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 somewhat superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial
to reduce pain and improve activity
in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking
was proposed as a beneficial combination
for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga reportedly decreased 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 modes or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some like physical
therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they so desire.
Layden Chiropractic understands that not every exercise option may be
our Plainville back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are key to participation...and Layden Chiropractic has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that current
evidence does not indicate that any one
form of exercise is superior to any other for back
pain relief. That’s interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain,
a major health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common type of exercise for back pain relief was reported to be motor control exercise which works
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly 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 indicated
that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her
doctor/therapist. (3) Layden Chiropractic talks with each Plainville back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
done. That’s the key!
