Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Plainville Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women demands some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Plainville chiropractor at Layden Chiropractic offer attention! Women who suffer back pain are a special subset of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Plainville BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back pain in older women is linked to abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women described in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What ties these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers explained that muscle weakness clearly linked low back pain, malnutrition, and decreased mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise enhanced these factors. (1) Layden Chiropractic sees over and over the benefit of exercise for our Plainville back pain patients.
EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Plainville chiropractic patients with back pain desire pain relief. That’s the goal of care. Our patients often see other healthcare providers who recommend options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 meaning 7 patients need to be treated for one patient to report benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study found that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain reduction as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works in the long run though? Exercise. The researchers explained that the single intervention that showed sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period ended was exercise. (2) We present this to foster the practice of exercise for all our Plainville back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused on women with low back pain, Layden Chiropractic urges our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It is part of the chiropractic treatment plan that includes simple exercises as the starting point!
