Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts life for its sufferers. Eugene chronic low back pain
sufferers look forward to getting their lives back. Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic
has a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do exactly
that. The treatment plan often includes chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic together with gentle
exercise and nutrition. Some recent
insights about effective exercise interventions are presented here
for our Eugene back pain patients’ consideration as it’s
for you to decide to choose what exercise suits 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 came across 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
to reduce pain and improve activity
in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking
was proposed as a beneficial 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. But it had similar
effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some enjoy physical
therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they want.
Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic understands that not every exercise option may be
our Eugene back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are key to participation...and Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One set of researchers wrote that up-to-date
evidence doesn’t propose that any one
form of exercise is better than any other for back
pain relief. That is interesting! They did report that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain,
a significant health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common form of exercise for back pain relief was reported to be motor control exercise working
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not
superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an option for chronic low back pain patients among
other kinds of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her
doctor/therapist. (3) Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic chats with each Eugene back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
performed. That’s the most important factor!
