St Peters Chiropractic Incorporates Simple Exercise for Back Pain Relief

June 26, 2018

So simple: exercise. For a person who just does not exercise or hasn’t experienced how good it feels to exercise, it might be so simple. But for a person with back pain, simple exercise can do so much. Old Mill Chiropractic would never persuade our St Peters back pain patients to train for a marathon, but Old Mill Chiropractic kindly encourages a walk to the mailbox or down the driveway! Old Mill Chiropractic promotes simple exercise to our St Peters back pain patients as part of the complete St Peters chiropractic treatment plan for back pain relief.

WHY EXERCISE FOR St Peters BACK PAIN RELIEF?

Old Mill Chiropractic knows that exercise (along with spinal manipulation!) contributes to the rehabilitation program of patients who have gone through St Peters back surgery. In one case study, a patient with leg pain after back surgery found 89% improvement at a 3 month follow-up after receiving spinal manipulation and exercise care. (1) Old Mill Chiropractic makes use of exercise and spinal manipulation via the Cox® Technic system to relieve St Peters back pain in sufferers after surgery and to prevent back surgery by lessening the back pain symptom generators.

HOW DOES EXERCISE HELP St Peters BACK PAIN?

Exercise is a possible treatment for St Peters low back pain, obesity and inflammation symptomatology. How? Adipose, fatty tissue lets go of numerous types of cytokines - pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory – which heightens the inflammatory response of C-reactive protein which is linked to musculoskeletal pain sensation in back pain sufferers. What does this mean? Overweight patients tend to feel more pain. One certain inflammation marker, prostaglandin E2, causes fever and the sensation of pain and inflammation related to low back pain.  Exercise steps in to control these issues. (2) Bottomline: St Peters back pain patients are advised to exercise, move, be active, to the degree they can. Begin small. Simple stabilization exercises bettered function, inhibited fatigue and improved transverse abdominis contraction in herniated disc back pain patients. (3)  Old Mill Chiropractic suggests to start by just strolling to the end of the driveway or corner then increasing the distance a bit each trip. Running races is not required! St Peters back pain patients see the change!
