Exercise. Toronto back pain sufferers hear
the recommendation to exercise often. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre
recommends it, also. Exercise keeps showing its
benefit for relief of low back pain and its prevention…plus a new report shows benefit for better
sleep quality!
EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a problem for the low back pain
sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare
providers and researchers investigate suggested
long-term ways to reduce this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise leads the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations along with manual therapy and
massage. (1) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre
offers itself as the Toronto back pain specialty clinic that many back pain sufferers visit.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Countless chronic back pain sufferers take
themselves to their primary care practitioners
first. it is a pretty standard routing. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care typically
involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research,
there is a curious statistic called “number to treat”
which denotes the number of patients with a certain
condition who need to go through the treatment
recommendation for 1 of the treatment recipients to get
benefit. In this new study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low
back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs
10. Of these 3 options, exercise was the only intervention that demonstrated
sustained chronic low back pain relief after the intervention
ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a valued,
self-management, non-drug alternative for chronic low back pain
patients. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre always includes it in the
Toronto chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some
control of chronic low back pain in our Toronto chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
Another advantageous patient-controlled
option is sleep-and-exercise.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is an issue for so many
Toronto chiropractic patients. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre often hears our
patients bring up sleep difficulties. Sleep is renewing
for the body and the mind. Exercise is often prescribed to
address sleep and mood issues. An interesting study about
the relationship between sleep and exercise highlights some interesting
findings in young women and men. Each is different! Men who exercised more often
reported falling asleep faster, less daytime issues,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went
to bed early, experienced better sleep
quality, and reported more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is key for so many concerns!
