San Jose Back Pain Relief with Exercise & Chiropractic
As any San Jose back pain patient understands, getting relief can be challenging. You may have visited various healthcare providers with different treatments. But did you know that exercise could be just the right addition to your attempts at getting back pain relief? According to the CHAMPS Study-DK, links between cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be moderated by sex and health-related physical activity.

HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH San Jose BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has demonstrated to be beneficial for those who suffer with chronic back pain in several ways. First, it strengthens core and lower back muscles which support your spine and decrease strain on it. Strengthening these muscles can help ease some of the pressure exerted on your spine and lower the amount of back pain you feel due to bad posture or poor habits like slouching. Additionally, exercise helps boost flexibility in your joints; it boosts blood circulation which helps support healing; and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help lower inflammation related to chronic back pain. (2,3) Chiropractic Solutions combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is significant to note that when beginning an exercise program for San Jose back pain relief, you should start slowly and gradually raise the intensity over time as your body adjusts. It is also valuable to choose low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming rather than high impact exercises like running or jumping because these can place additional strain on your spine and irritate rather than help. Having said that, moderate aerobic exercise mixing strengthening and stretching exercises has been proven effective in reducing lower back pain for many back pain sufferers with chronic conditions like back pain. San Jose back pain patients have a great exercise partner at Chiropractic Solutions as researchers explain that chiropractors actively endorse (and participate in their own) physical activity by offering exercise information, asking patients about their physical activity level, and counseling back pain patients about proper exercises to help their conditions.
