Exercise Improves Sleep and Manchester Back Pain

July 31, 2018

Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What links them together? Exercise! Manchester chiropractic patients come to realize that acting on this one little recommendation to exercise – even just walking! – in their Manchester chiropractic treatment plan pays off in many ways.

TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN

What is recognized about the sleep and pain connection? It’s acknowledged that sleep disturbance and depression affect the back pain patient’s state of mind. Experiencing Manchester back pain can be depressing if it continues for too long (more than 12 weeks) without relief as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all recommend exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned if poor sleep stops these patients from being physically active. (2) Great question! Other researchers then reported that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep allows the body to rest and regenerate for the next day’s adventures. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer takes on the next day with less than optimal ability. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries wants all Manchester chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to cope with their Manchester back pain and do what they can for Manchester back pain relief.

WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN

Exercise is widely suggested to Manchester back pain sufferers to help them find Manchester back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is stated to be very valuable in managing sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain patients who did stabilization exercise for only 8 weeks straight, everything improved: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people from 1 to 91 years old discovered that better sleep quality is linked to habitual physical activity. This study also learned that patients over 40 years of age with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced poorer sleep and yet they spent more time lying down.
