Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What ties
them together? Exercise! Eugene chiropractic patients come to realize
that following this one little suggestion to
exercise – even just walking! – in their Eugene chiropractic
treatment plan pays off in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What is known about
the sleep and pain connection? It’s known that
sleep disturbance and depression affect the back pain
patient’s state of mind. Experiencing Eugene
back pain can be depressing if it goes on
for too long (more than 12 weeks) without respite as is the
case in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all recommend
exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned
if poor sleep stops these patients from exercising. (2) Great question! Other researchers then reported
that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical
inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and
rejuventate for the next day’s tasks. Without
sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer tackles
the next day with less than optimal capability. Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic
desires all Eugene chiropractic care patients to be fully
ready to deal with their Eugene back pain and do what
they can for Eugene back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is commonly recommended
to Eugene back pain sufferers to help them find Eugene back pain
relief. Stabilization exercise is reported
to be quite useful in managing
sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic
low back pain patients. In a review of 26 chronic back pain
patients who did stabilization exercise for only 8
weeks straight, everything got better: sleep
quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of
1645 people aged 1 to 91 years discovered
that better sleep quality is linked to habitual
physical activity. This study also found that patients over 40
years of age with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes had
poorer sleep and yet they spent more time lying down. (3) As your Eugene back pain specialist, your Eugene chiropractor takes a look at the whole Eugene back
pain patient and studies any and all factors when recommending
an exercise plan individualized for each
Eugene back pain sufferer.
