Manchester Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Regular Exercise
Independence. It’s a worthy quality. Sometimes. When it comes to exercise, seeking some guidance more often is better. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is prepared to be your guide! Manchester back pain sufferers can depend on Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries to establish, demonstrate and supervise an exercise routine that is pain relieving just for you!
BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE
Research demonstrates that supervised exercise therapy begets significant symptom relief and improved quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by boosting maximal walking distance in just three months. Sadly, it is not put in to practice enough. Home based exercise therapy with observation tools like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other beneficial alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the desired independence. (1) Manchester back pain patients may benefit in the same way these back pain sufferers do. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would appreciate walking more in such a way!
MORE REGULAR SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL
A recent study reports that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients gave significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function in comparison to unsupervised. (2) A follow-up study compared a more specialized schedule of supervised physical therapy visits – two times a week and one time a week - to home exercise. It reports specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy twice weekly for lumbar spinal stenosis patients brought about significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance rather than once a week PT visits and home exercise exclusively. (3) Our Manchester back pain patients would embrace all these improvements, undoubtedly!
EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN
Improvement is the goal in managing back pain. Independence only gets you so far when your back is hurting. There is always a tipping point when the pain just cannot be dealt with any more! Then a visit to the doctor is planned. Many articles are written about the choice of healthcare provider a back pain sufferer sees first sets the course for subsequent care. (That was the topic of another blog!) Regarding exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too infrequently used while opioid prescriptions are very common in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy visits. (4) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is honored to be chosen for back pain relief. Your Manchester chiropractor is an experienced Manchester back pain specialist whose treatment plan incorporates the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management and exercise.
