Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What ties them together? Exercise! Groton chiropractic patients come to realize that acting on this one little recommendation to exercise – even just walking! – in their Groton chiropractic treatment plan benefits in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What is acknowledged about the sleep and pain connection? It is known that sleep disturbance and depression influence the back pain patient’s outlook on life. Experiencing Groton back pain can be depressing if it lasts for too long (more than 12 weeks) without respite as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all recommend exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers wondered if poor sleep prevents these patients from being physically active. (2) Good question! Other researchers then described that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and regenerate for the next day’s tasks. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer takes on the next day with less than optimal capability. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office desires all Groton chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to cope with their Groton back pain and do what they can for Groton back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is commonly recommended to Groton back pain sufferers to help them find Groton back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is reported to be very useful in the management of sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain patients who performed stabilization exercise for just 8 weeks straight, everything got better: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people from 1 to 91 years old discovered that improved sleep quality is tied to habitual physical activity. This study also found that patients over 40 years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced poorer sleep though they spent more time lying down. (3) As your Groton back pain specialist, your Groton chiropractor takes a look at the whole Groton back pain patient and examines any and all factors when recommending an exercise plan individualized for each Groton back pain sufferer.
