San Jose Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise

April 20, 2021

“Must I exercise?”

“Only exercise if you want to feel better quicker and prevent pain,“ your San Jose chiropractic replies.

“How much time do I have to spend exercising every day?”

“Not long, just properly,” Chiropractic Solutions advises.

Exercise is not every San Jose back pain or neck pain patient’s ’thing’. Chiropractic Solutions knows. Exercise is also so key to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our San Jose chiropractic patients all along the way to get the most of the exercise effort so that it results in pain prevention and relief.

OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Neck pain sufferers realize how pain may decrease their ability to look around comfortably. Such neck pain patients were assessed for their cervical range of motion and pain intensity with a flexion-rotation test. They were then instructed to do a 20-minutes cervical spine exercise session. 50% of them were then also treated with manual therapy applied to the C0-C1 and C2-C3 cervical spine levels. Those who performed the exercise program and received manual therapy managed significantly better as far as range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another research project revealed that the optimal stretching time of cervical muscles in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome was 30 seconds as contrasted with 15 or 60 seconds or no stretching. This allowed the best benefit to pain intensity decrease while diminishing any negative effects on neural function of the affected nerve roots and central nervous system. (2) Chiropractic Solutions always emphasizes that the appropriate exercise performed in proper form doesn’t have to take long to be useful! Plus, exercise places some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be done anytime.

OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Integrating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain makes sense. This type of back pain affects so many people around the world and is a primary cause of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain sufferer to self-management. Recently, researchers suggested that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health issues in such back pain patients - were enhanced with options like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise. (3) Chiropractic Solutions agrees! Exercise is valuable on so many fronts.
