Juneau Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Routine Exercise
Independence. It’s an admirable quality. Sometimes. When it comes to exercise, seeking a bit of guidance more often is better. Aurora Chiropractic Center is ready to be your guide! Juneau back pain sufferers can rely on Aurora Chiropractic Center to establish, demonstrate and supervise a pain-relieving exercise routine just for you!
BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE
Research demonstrates that supervised exercise therapy begets significant symptom relief and bettered quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by increasing maximal walking distance in just 3 months. Sadly, it is not put in to practice enough. Home based exercise therapy with observation tools like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other helpful alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the preferred independence. (1) Juneau back pain patients may benefit just like these back pain patients. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would appreciate walking more in such a way!
MORE REGULAR SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL
A recent study reports that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients provided significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function compared with unsupervised. (2) A follow-up study evaluated a more specialized schedule of supervised physical therapy visits – two times a week and one time weekly - to home exercise. It reports specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy twice weekly for lumbar spinal stenosis patients allowed significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance rather than once a week PT visits and home exercise exclusively. (3) Our Juneau back pain patients would embrace all these improvements, undoubtedly!
EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN
Improvement is the goal in managing back pain. Independence only gets you so far when dealing with back pain. There is always a tipping point when the pain just can’t be dealt with any more! Then a visit to the doctor is planned. Many articles are written about how the doctor seen first often sets the course for subsequent care. (That was the subject of another blog!) Concerning exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too infrequently used while opioid prescriptions are most ordinarly in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy visits.
