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 somewhat superior for intermediate term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more effective to reduce pain and improve activity in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking was suggested to be a valuable combination for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials, yoga reportedly decreased pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve functional disability from short to long term compared to non-exercise, usual care, and education. But it had the same effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy. (2) Most everyone can walk. Some like physical therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they want. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows not every exercise option may be our Carrolltown back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options are essential to participation...and Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that present evidence doesn’t suggest that any single type of exercise is better than any other for back pain relief. That’s interesting! They did state that exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain, a major health and socioeconomic issue (cost, disability, missed work). The most common form 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 types of exercise. The researchers indicated that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her doctor/therapist.
