Manchester Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise a few years ago. Speed may have been a goal once. Distance may have been the aim. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is an excellent aim for back pain sufferers seeking Manchester back pain relief. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries suggests walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for peak walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR Manchester BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is normally recommended to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented as being effective for relief of low back pain. But walking alone is not talked about as much? Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries urges Manchester back pain patients to not tag on the word “just” before “walking”! Walking itself is an incredibly healing activity. Walking is basic to everyday life. Walking is something so many of us underappreciate until we can not walk or something like back pain prevents us from walking like we once did. A new research report corroborates this: Walking more than an hour and a half a week was related to a lower risk of self-reported low back pain in adults over 50 years of age. 90 minutes is not much; regular walking for 30 minutes daily three days a week is optimal. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries suggests that our Manchester chiropractic patients walk.

CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING

Seeing a licensed chiropractor increases walking distance. A recent report discovered that an all-inclusive non-surgical training which included an exercise program directed by a chiropractor improved back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, decreased pain and improved walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis patients. (2) That’s significant! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and promotes walking 30 minutes three times a week. Being able to walk any distance for a half hour is important!
