Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts life for its sufferers. Millville chronic low back pain
sufferers look forward to getting their lives back. Wilson Family Chiropractic
follows a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do exactly
that. The treatment plan often includes chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic as well as gentle
exercise and nutrition. A couple new
insights about effective exercise interventions are presented here
for our Millville back pain patients’ consideration as it’s
for you to decide to select what exercise works
for you!
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 was
found to be 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
for pain and activity limitation improvement
in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking
was suggested to be a valuable combination
for CLBP 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. However it had the same
effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can walk. Some enjoy physical
therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they want.
Wilson Family Chiropractic knows not every exercise option may be
our Millville back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options
are essential to participation...and Wilson Family Chiropractic has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One set of researchers wrote that up-to-date
evidence does not indicate that any one
type of exercise is superior to any other for back
pain relief. That is interesting! They did report that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain,
a substantial health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common type of exercise for back pain relief was reported to be motor control exercise which works
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not
superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an option for chronic low back pain patients among
other forms of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her
doctor/therapist. (3) Wilson Family Chiropractic chats with each Millville back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
done. That’s the most important factor!
