Exercise. Vancouver back pain sufferers hear
the advice to exercise a lot. Vancouver Disc Centers
recommends it, too. Exercise keeps showing its
benefit for relief of low back pain and its prevention…and a new report reveals benefit for improved
sleep quality!
EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a burden for the low back pain
sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare
providers and researchers examine suggested
long-term methods to decrease this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise leads the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations with manual therapy and massage in that list as well. (1) Vancouver Disc Centers
is the Vancouver back pain specialty clinic to
which many back pain sufferers see.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Countless chronic back pain sufferers take
themselves to their primary care practitioners
first. it is a pretty standard routing. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care often
involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research,
there is a curious statistic called “number to treat”
which denotes the number of patients with a certain
condition who need to have it done the treatment
recommendation for 1 of them to report
benefit. In this new study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low
back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs
10. Of these 3 options, exercise was the only intervention that showed
sustained chronic low back pain relief after the intervention
ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a useful,
self-management, non-drug option for chronic low back pain
patients. Vancouver Disc Centers always incorporates it in the
Vancouver chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise places some
control of chronic low back pain in our Vancouver chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
An additional advantageous patient-controlled
option is the sleep and exercise option.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is an issue for so many
Vancouver chiropractic patients. Vancouver Disc Centers often hears our
patients bring up sleep difficulties. Sleep is renewing
for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes prescribed to
address sleep and mood issues. A noteworthy study about
the relationship between sleep and exercise highlights some interesting
findings in young men and women. Each is different! Men who exercised more often
reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime trouble,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went
to bed early, experienced improved sleep
quality, and reported more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is key for so many concerns!
