No Exercise Often Increases Risk of More Carrolltown Pain & Disease Progression
Do something. Move. Walk. Stretch. Patients who suffer with pain benefit when they do something. No exercising is a risk for worsening pain, both pain in the body and pain in the mind in the form of depression. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees many Carrolltown back pain patients in pain who also deal with depression. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation also knows that when our Carrolltown chiropractic patients do something, they improve in body and mind.
NO EXERCISE RAISES RISK OF STENOSIS PROGRESSION
Spinal stenosis is a familiar diagnosis. It is the decrease of the spinal canal area as a result of degeneration. A recent study reported that risk of spinal stenosis progression is greater for those who had spondylolisthesis, had pain (in leg and/or back) when walking, and more severe stenosis. The lack of therapeutic exercise was also found to a risk factor for the advancement of spinal stenosis. (1) Back pain sufferers like those who have spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis need exercise! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation helps each of our chiropractic patients find what exercise is right for them.
EXERCISE IMPROVES FUNCTION
Nonspecific low back pain sufferers enhanced their functional disability status better with stabilization and/or McKenzie exercises than with conventional exercise programs. (2) Note though that exercise did help, conventional or not!
EXERCISE IMPROVES DEPRESSION
For many back pain sufferers with specific or non-specific back pain, chronic or not, may well describe themselves as a little down when their back pain sticks around longer than desired. It’s not unusual. Once more, exercise to the rescue! Another study showed that exercise (low dose or moderate-dose strength and conditioning) helped decrease depressive symptoms in adults with chronic low back pain. Combining exercise and manual therapy was a bonus! (3) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation brings in as many positive approaches to back pain relief as possible to help our Carrolltown back pain patients! The Cox® Technic System of Spine Pain Management is one of those approaches.
