Chronic low back pain (CLBP) slows
life down for its sufferers. Severna Park chronic low back pain
sufferers look forward to getting their lives back. Back And Neck Care Center
has a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do exactly
that. The treatment plan often involves chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic as well as gentle
exercise and nutrition. Some recent
insights about effective exercise interventions are presented here
for our Severna Park back pain patients’ consideration as it’s
up to you to choose what exercise suits you!
WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis
of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of
chronic low back pain and somewhat superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more effective
for pain and activity limitation improvement
in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga
was proposed as a valuable combination
for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga was said
to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term when compared with
non-exercise, usual care, and education. However it had equal
effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some like physical
therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they want.
Back And Neck Care Center understands that not every exercise option may be
our Severna Park back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options
are key to participation...and Back And Neck Care Center has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that up-to-date
evidence doesn’t suggest that any one
type of exercise is superior to any other for back
pain relief. That is interesting! They did report that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain,
a substantial health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common form of exercise for back pain relief was described as
being motor control exercise working
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not
superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an alternative for chronic low back pain patients among
other forms of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what
works. (3) Back And Neck Care Center talks with each Severna Park back
pain sufferer to learn about what exercise will work and will be
done. That’s the key!
