San Jose Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise when you were younger. Speed may have been a goal once. Distance may have been the target. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is a commendable aim for back pain sufferers seeking San Jose back pain relief. Chiropractic Solutions encourages walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for peak walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR San Jose BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is frequently recommended to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented as being effective for relief of low back pain. But what about walking? Chiropractic Solutions encourages San Jose back pain patients to not add the word “just” ahead of “walking”! Walking itself is an amazingly healing activity. Walking is essential to everyday life. Walking is something so many of us underappreciate until we can not walk or something like back pain stops us from walking like we once did. A new study supports this: Walking more than ninety minutes a week was associated with a lesser risk of self-reported low back pain in adults who are 50 years old and over. 90 minutes is not bad; regular walking for 30 minutes daily three times a week is ideal.

CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING

Visiting a licensed chiropractor increases walking distance. A new research report discovered that a comprehensive non-surgical training which included an exercise program directed by a chiropractor enhanced back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, decreased pain and increased walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis patients. (2) That’s significant! Chiropractic Solutions uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and encourages walking 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time. Being able to walk any distance for 30 minutes is essential!
