HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH Manchester BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has demonstrated to be beneficial for those who have chronic back pain in a multitude of ways. First, it strengthens core and lower back muscles which support your spine and decrease strain on it. Strengthening these muscles can help alleviate some of the pressure placed on your spine and reduce the amount of back pain you experience due to poor posture or poor habits like slouching. Further, exercise helps increase flexibility in your joints; it increases blood circulation which helps support healing; and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help reduce inflammation related to chronic back pain. (2,3) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is important to realize that when initiating an exercise program for Manchester back pain relief, you should start slowly and gradually raise the intensity over time as your body adjusts. It’s also valuable to choose low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming rather than high impact exercises such as running or jumping as these can put additional strain on your spine and aggravate rather than improve. With that, moderate aerobic exercise mixing strengthening and stretching exercises has been proven effective in decreasing lower back pain for many back pain sufferers with chronic conditions like back pain. Manchester back pain patients have a great exercise coach at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries as researchers write that chiropractors actively promote (and participate in their own) physical activity by providing exercise information, asking patients about their physical activity level, and advising back pain patients about suitable exercises to help their conditions.
