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 beneficial to reduce pain and improve activity in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga was suggested to be 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. However it had the same 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 do yoga if they so desire. Chiropractic Solutions understands that not every exercise option may be our San Jose back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options are essential to participation...and Chiropractic Solutions has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that up-to-date evidence does not indicate that any single 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 substantial health and socioeconomic issue (cost, disability, missed work). The most common form of exercise for back pain relief was described as being motor control exercise working on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should be an option for chronic low back pain patients among other types of exercise. The researchers indicated that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her doctor/therapist. (3) Chiropractic Solutions talks with each San Jose back pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be done. That is the key!
