Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts life for its sufferers. Groton chronic low back pain
sufferers look forward to getting their lives back. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office
offers a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do just
that. The treatment plan often involves chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic along with gentle
exercise and nutrition. A couple recent
insights about effective exercise interventions are presented here
for our Groton back pain patients’ consideration as it is
for you to decide to choose what exercise works
for you!
WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis
of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of
chronic low back pain and slightly superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial
for pain and activity limitation improvement
in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga
was proposed as a beneficial combination
for CLBP patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga was reported
to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term when compared with
non-exercise, usual care, and education. However it had the same
effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some enjoy physical
therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they so desire.
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows not every exercise option may be
our Groton back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are key to participation...and Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that current
evidence does not suggest that any single
form of exercise is superior to any other for back
pain relief. That’s interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP,
a substantial health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common type of exercise for back pain relief was described as
being motor control exercise working
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not
superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an option for chronic low back pain patients among
other kinds of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what
works. (3) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office talks with each Groton back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
done. That is the most important factor!
