Exercise Improves Sleep and Juneau Back Pain
Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What links them together? Exercise! Juneau chiropractic patients come to know that acting on this one little suggestion to exercise – even just walking! – in their Juneau chiropractic treatment plan benefits in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What’s recognized about the sleep and pain connection? It is known that sleep disturbance and depression affect the back pain patient’s state of mind. Having Juneau back pain can be disheartening if it goes on for too long (more than 12 weeks) without respite as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all endorse exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned if poor sleep stops these patients from exercising. (2) Great question! Other researchers then reported that such a disruption to sleep is associated with physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and regenerate for the next day’s adventures. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer takes on the next day with less than ideal capability. Aurora Chiropractic Center wants all Juneau chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to cope with their Juneau back pain and do what they can for Juneau back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is widely suggested to Juneau back pain sufferers to help them find Juneau back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is reported to be quite valuable in managing sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain patients who did stabilization exercise for only 8 weeks straight, everything got better: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people aged 1 to 91 years discovered that better sleep quality is tied to habitual physical activity. This study also learned that patients over 40 years of age with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes had poorer sleep and yet they spent more time lying down. (3) As your Juneau back pain specialist, your Juneau chiropractor takes a look at the whole Juneau back pain patient and studies any and all factors when recommending an exercise strategy individualized for each Juneau back pain sufferer.
