Vancouver Back Pain Relief Helped by Walking 90 Minutes Weekly

Just walk! It’s simple. It’s cheap. It’s useful. Walking is a great way to get healthy and remain healthy. Walking is a great way to find relief from chronic pain and back pain. Vancouver Disc Centers's Vancouver chiropractic back pain specialist often advises walking as one of the initial things to try to Vancouver back pain patients. Here’s why…

WALK MORE. SIT LESS.

It may seem odd when Vancouver Disc Centers inquires about your sitting habits when you visit Vancouver Disc Centers for Vancouver back pain treatment and relief, but it’s not!

Recent research reports more emphatically that longer sitting and low physical activity increases low back pain risk even more. (1) Vancouver Disc Centers’s curiosity about your sitting habits makes sense! Vancouver Disc Centers’s recommendation to walk does, too.
