Exercise Improves Sleep and San Jose Back Pain
Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What ties them together? Exercise! San Jose chiropractic patients come to understand that following this one little suggestion to exercise – even just walking! – in their San Jose chiropractic treatment plan pays off in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What is known about the sleep and pain connection? It is acknowledged that sleep disturbance and depression affect the back pain patient’s outlook on life. Experiencing San Jose back pain can be depressing if it goes on for too long (more than 12 weeks) without respite as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all endorse exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned if poor sleep stops these patients from exercising. (2) Good question! Other researchers then reported that such a disruption to sleep is associated with 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 undertakes the next day with less than optimal ability. Chiropractic Solutions wants all San Jose chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to cope with their San Jose back pain and do what they can for San Jose back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is widely suggested to San Jose back pain sufferers in aiding their path to San Jose back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is reported to be quite valuable 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 in a row, everything got better: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people aged 1 to 91 years discovered that improved sleep quality is linked to routine physical activity. This study also found that patients over 40 years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced poorer sleep and yet they used more time lying down. (3) As your San Jose back pain specialist, your San Jose chiropractor considers the whole San Jose back pain patient and examines any and all factors when suggesting an exercise plan personalized for each San Jose back pain sufferer.
