NO EXERCISE RAISES RISK OF STENOSIS PROGRESSION

Spinal stenosis is a familiar diagnosis. It is the decrease of the spinal canal area as a result of degeneration. A recent study revealed that risk of spinal stenosis progression is higher for those with spondylolisthesis, had pain (in leg and/or back) when walking, and more severe stenosis. The absence of therapeutic exercise was also discovered to a risk factor for the advancement of spinal stenosis. (1) Back pain sufferers like those who have spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis need exercise! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries helps each of our chiropractic patients find what exercise fits them.

EXERCISE IMPROVES FUNCTION

Nonspecific low back pain sufferers enhanced their functional disability level more with stabilization and/or McKenzie exercises than with conventional exercise programs. (2) Note though that exercise did help, conventional or not!

EXERCISE IMPROVES DEPRESSION

For many back pain sufferers with specific or non-specific back pain, chronic or not, may well describe themselves as a little sad when their back pain hangs around longer than desired. It is not unusual. Once more, exercise helps! Another study showed that exercise (low dose or moderate-dose strength and conditioning) helped decrease depressive symptoms in adults with chronic low back pain. Combining exercise and manual therapy was a plus! (3) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries incorporates as many positive approaches to back pain relief as possible to help our Manchester back pain patients!
