St Peters Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Routine Exercise
Independence. It’s an admirable quality. Most of the time. When it comes to exercise, getting a bit of guidance more often is better. Old Mill Chiropractic is prepared to be your guide! St Peters back pain sufferers can depend on Old Mill Chiropractic to establish, demonstrate and supervise a pain-relieving exercise routine just for you!
BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE
Research shows that supervised exercise therapy produces significant symptom relief and bettered quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by increasing maximal walking distance in just 90 days. Sadly, it’s not put in to practice enough. Home based exercise therapy with observation tools like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other beneficial alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the desired independence. (1) St Peters back pain patients may benefit in the same manner these back pain sufferers do. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would appreciate walking more like that!
MORE FREQUENT SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL
A newer report states that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients gave significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function compared with 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 twice weekly for lumbar spinal stenosis patients provided significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance compared with one time a week PT visits and home exercise exclusively. (3) Our St Peters back pain patients would embrace all these improvements, no doubt!
EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN
Improvement is the goal in managing back pain. Independence only gets you so far when your back is hurting. There is always a tipping point when the pain just cannot be put up 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 resulting care. (That was the subject of another blog!) Regarding exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too rarely used while opioid prescriptions are most ordinarly in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy visits.
