Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Carrolltown Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women requires some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation give it! Women with back pain are a special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we love to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Carrolltown BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back pain in older women is linked to abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women included in this study also experienced decreased mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these issues together? Muscle. Researchers described that muscle weakness clearly tied low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was highlighted that exercise enhanced these factors. (1) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation witnesses over and over the benefit of exercise for our Carrolltown back pain patients.
EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Carrolltown chiropractic patients with back pain seek pain relief. That is the goal of care. Our patients often see other healthcare providers who recommend options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 meaning sever patients need to be treated for 1 patient to report benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study found that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain decrease as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat statistics. Which works over time though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the one intervention that demonstrated sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period ended was exercise. (2) We present this to foster the practice of exercise for all our Carrolltown back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused on women with low back pain, Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation urges our older women patients to exercise. It’s part of the chiropractic treatment plan that incorporates simple exercises as the beginning point!
