Women who suffer back pain are a special subset of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Manchester BACK PAIN
A recent report shared that low back pain in older women stems from abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women described in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What ties these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers described that muscle weakness clearly tied low back pain, malnutrition, and decreased mobility function in older women. The good news was highlighted that exercise enhanced these issues.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Manchester chiropractic patients with back pain want pain relief. That’s the objective of care. Our patients often try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 meaning 7 patients need to be treated for 1 patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study found that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain decrease as shown by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works in the long run though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the one intervention that showed sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period ended was exercise. (2) We share this to encourage exercise for all our Manchester back pain (and neck pain) patients. For purposes of this article on women with low back pain, Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries encourages our older women patients to exercise. It is part of the chiropractic treatment plan that includes simple exercises as the beginning point!
