Just walk! It’s easy. It’s cheap.
It’s effective. Walking is a great means to
get healthy and stay healthy. Walking is a great way to find relief from chronic pain and back pain.
Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic's Eugene chiropractic back pain specialist often suggests walking as one of the first
things to try to Eugene back pain patients. Here
is why…
WALK MORE. SIT LESS.
It may seem strange when Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic inquires about your sitting habits when you visit Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic for Eugene
back pain treatment and relief, but it is not! It’s well
known and now even research documented that sitting
for extended periods of time is a risk factor for low back
pain. Recent research goes even further to point out that longer sitting and low physical activity
raises low back pain risk even more. (1) Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic’s
curiosity about your sitting habits is logical! Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic’s recommendation
to walk is, too.
Eugene WALKING BENEFITS
Eugene walking is beneficial
for Eugene back pain relief as well as the back pain
relieving Eugene chiropractic care at Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic! Walking is good
for chronic musculoskeletal pain sufferers as those with low back
pain, fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. Walking is a helpful type
of exercise for chronic pain relief and is related to
significant improvements in pain and function. (2) Exercise and physical
activities like muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise have lots
of backing for effectively dealing with low back pain.
Weekly walking is growing more and more approval
to be included on this list of effective activities.
For over-50 year olds, weekly walking of 90 minutes a week decreases
the risk of low back pain. Longer walking sessions are ostensibly
better. Regular walking for a longer time for more than 3 days a week is significantly associated
with decreased low back pain risk. (3) Excitingly,
a walking program is research-documented to offer the lowest
costs and the highest level of continuing to do it
by back pain patients. (4) Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic understands that our
Eugene chiropractic patients will appreciate that balance!
