Carrolltown Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Routine Exercise
Independence. It is a worthy quality. Most of the time. When it comes to exercise, accepting a little guidance more often is better. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is equipped to be your guide! Carrolltown back pain sufferers can depend on Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation to set up, demonstrate and supervise a pain-relieving exercise routine specially for you!
BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE
Research shows that supervised exercise therapy begets significant symptom relief and improved quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by increasing maximal walking distance in just three months. Sadly, it is underutilized. Home based exercise therapy with observation devices like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other beneficial alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the preferred independence. (1) Carrolltown back pain patients may benefit in the same way these back pain sufferers do. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would value walking more like that!
MORE REGULAR SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL
A recent study reports that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients delivered significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function in comparison to unsupervised. (2) A follow-up study compared a more specific schedule of supervised physical therapy visits – two times a week and once a week - to home exercise. It reports specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy two times a week for lumbar spinal stenosis patients brought about significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance rather than once a week PT visits and home exercise alone. (3) Our Carrolltown back pain patients would embrace all these improvements, undoubtedly!
EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN
Improvement is the goal in managing back pain. Independence only takes you so far when dealing with back pain. There is always a tipping point when the pain just cannot be dealt with any more! Then a visit to the doctor is arranged. Many articles are written about how the doctor seen first often sets the course for subsequent care. (That was the topic of another blog!) Concerning exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too rarely used while opioid prescriptions are very common in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy visits.
