Chronic low back pain (CLBP) slows
life down for its sufferers. San Jose chronic low back pain
sufferers look forward to getting their lives back. Chiropractic Solutions
has a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do exactly
that. The treatment plan often incorporates chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic as well as gentle
exercise and nutrition. A couple recent
insights about effective exercise interventions are shared here
for our San Jose back pain patients’ consideration as it’s
up to you to select 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. Combining both walking and yoga
was proposed as a beneficial combination
for CLBP patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga was reported
to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term when compared with
non-exercise, usual care, and education. However it had equal
effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some like physical
therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they so desire.
Chiropractic Solutions understands that not every exercise option may be
our San Jose back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are key to participation...and Chiropractic Solutions has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that up-to-date
evidence does not propose that any single
type of exercise is superior to any other for back
pain relief. That’s interesting! They did report that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain,
a major health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common type of exercise for back pain relief was reported as motor control exercise working
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not
superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an alternative for chronic low back pain patients among
other kinds of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what
works. (3) Chiropractic Solutions talks with each San Jose back
pain sufferer to learn about what exercise will work and will be
done. That is the most important factor!
