January 31, 2024

Guidelines. There are guidelines for everything! This post talks about some of the more recent guidelines for interprofessional teamwork between chiropractors and other healthcare providers to boost the healing of Juneau back pain and neck pain sufferers. Exercises are a core part of back pain prevention as well as management that all providers encourage and all providers are concerned are not always completed. Chiropractors like your own at Aurora Chiropractic Center are health promoters and work to do that in the kindest, most caring way! Let’s work together to get you better.

GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Quality in healthcare delivery is talked about so much. Providers and patients desire the best quality care possible in delivering care and getting care. Interprofessional collaboration is on the top of the list when researchers analyze systems for the care of back pain like proper use of screening and preventive services. (1) Researchers have also assembled 70 quality markers for chiropractic delivery that are standardized as well as evidence-based that take into consideration patient concerns and enhanced clinical outcomes. (2) Physical activity certainly is a part of a quality chiropractic healthcare plan for Juneau pain relief.

BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN

In a recent survey, chiropractors expressed that the biggest concern they held in treating back pain patients was patient follow through (making appointments, doing exercises, following at-home instructions, etc.). (3) In another survey, 90% of chiropractors stated that they had a positive opinion about healthier patient lifestyles. These chiropractors also shared that they were actively involved in promoting physical activity, recommending exercises to patients for their particular issue, inquiring how the exercises are going, and counseling patients in the proper way to do exercises as well as value of doing exercises. (4) One way that patients seem to respond more positively and be more willing to do physical activity is using a mobile app. Apps that are build built around reported pain, pain intensity, and app features like audio explanation and animation of each exercise are well received. (5)  Doing the right exercises in the right way is the most helpful.

ADD IN SOME DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING!

Core stabilization exercises are commonly recommended to back pain patients. One new study that added in diaphragmatic breathing exercises recorded many advantages for chronic low back pain patients: enhanced muscle activity, chest expansion, quality of sleep, improved disability and physical activity and pain scores, less fear avoidance, and higher physical activity, and more. (6) As a part of your healthcare team, your chiropractor at Aurora Chiropractic Center feels a duty to promote physical activity so that you can take care of you.
