Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with San Jose Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women requires some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your San Jose chiropractor at Chiropractic Solutions give it! Women with back pain are a special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND San Jose BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back pain in older women is linked to abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women included in this study also experienced decreased mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What ties these issues together? Muscle. Researchers described that muscle weakness clearly tied low back pain, malnutrition, and decreased mobility function in older women. The good news was highlighted that exercise improved these issues.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
San Jose chiropractic patients with back pain desire pain relief. That’s the aim of care. Our patients frequently see other healthcare providers who recommend options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating 7 patients need to be treated for one patient to report benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A recent study reported that these options many times deliver clinically meaningful pain decrease as shown by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works in the long run though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the only intervention that demonstrated sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We share this to foster the practice of exercise for all our San Jose back pain (and neck pain) patients. For purposes of this article on women with low back pain, Chiropractic Solutions urges our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It’s part of the chiropractic treatment plan that incorporates simple exercises as the starting point!
