Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Juneau Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women demands some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Juneau chiropractor at Aurora Chiropractic Center provide that attention! Women who suffer back pain are a special subset of our chiropractic practice with whom we love to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Juneau BACK PAIN
A recent report shared that low back pain among older women is linked to abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women described in this study also experienced decreased mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers described that muscle weakness directly linked low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was highlighted that exercise improved these issues. (1) Aurora Chiropractic Center witnesses over and over the benefit of exercise for our Juneau back pain patients.
EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Juneau chiropractic patients with back pain desire pain relief. That’s the goal of care. Our patients frequently try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating sever patients need to be treated for 1 patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study reported 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 wrote that the one intervention that showed sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We share this to foster the practice of exercise for all our Juneau back pain (and neck pain) patients. For purposes of this article about women with low back pain, Aurora Chiropractic Center encourages our older women patients to exercise. It’s part of the chiropractic treatment plan that involves simple exercises as the beginning point!
