As any Carrolltown back pain patient knows, getting relief can be challenging. Many have visited various healthcare providers with different treatments. But did you know that exercise could be just the right addition to your attempts at getting back pain relief? According to the CHAMPS Study-DK, links between cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be affected by sex and health-related physical activity.

HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH Carrolltown BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has proven to be beneficial for those who suffer with chronic back pain in a multitude of ways. First, it strengthens the muscles in your core and lower back which support your spine and decrease strain on it. Strengthening these muscles can help alleviate some of the pressure exerted on your spine and decrease the amount of back pain you feel due to bad posture or bad habits like slouching. Additionally, exercise helps increase flexibility in your joints; it enhances blood circulation which helps advance healing; and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help decrease inflammation associated with chronic back pain. (2,3) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is important to realize that when beginning an exercise program for Carrolltown back pain relief, you should start gently and gradually increase intensity over time as your body adjusts. It is also valuable to select low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming rather than high impact exercises like running or jumping since these can place additional strain on your spine and irritate rather than help. With that, moderate aerobic exercise mixing strengthening and stretching exercises has been proven useful in decreasing lower back pain for many back pain sufferers with chronic conditions like back pain. Carrolltown back pain patients have a great exercise coach at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation as researchers write that chiropractors actively promote (and participate in their own) physical activity by offering exercise information, asking patients about their physical activity level, and counseling back pain patients about proper exercises to help their conditions.
