Toronto Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise

April 20, 2021

“Do I have to exercise?”

“Only exercise if you want to feel better faster and prevent pain,“ your Toronto chiropractic replies.

“How long do I have to exercise every day?”

“Not long, just properly,” Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre suggests.

Exercise is not every Toronto back pain or neck pain patient’s ’thing’. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre understands. Exercise is also so vital to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our Toronto chiropractic patients every step of the way to make the most of the exercise effort so that it pays off in pain prevention and relief.

OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Neck pain sufferers understand how pain may reduce their neck motion. Such neck pain patients were tested for their cervical range of motion and pain intensity with a flexion-rotation test. They were then instructed to do a 20-minutes cervical spine exercise session. Half of them were then additionally treated with manual therapy applied to the C0-C1 and C2-C3 cervical spine levels. Those who performed the exercise program and were treated benefitted significantly better as far as range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another study revealed that the optimal stretching time of cervical muscles in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome was 30 seconds as contrasted with 15 or 60 seconds or no stretching. This permitted the best benefit to pain intensity decrease while minimizing any negative effects on neural function of the affected nerve roots and central nervous system.

Plus, exercise lays some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be done whenever.

OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Incorporating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain makes sense. This type of back pain affects so many people globally and is a foremost cause of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain sufferer to self-management. Recently, researchers suggested that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health struggles in such back pain patients - were enhanced with options like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise.
