January 2019 San Jose Chiropractic Healthy News: Walking, Spinal Manipulation, & Exercise

 

Walking is valuable for San Jose living. How often do you think about walking? How often are you thankful for the ability to put one foot in front of the other? Most San Jose folks don’t give walking a second thought until we or a San Jose loved one can not do it or is not able do it as easily as we once did. Chronic non-specific low back pain tends to affect San Jose back pain patients’ motor control while walking. It’s suspected that the erector spinae are working overtime in these patients, leading to a stiff lumbar-pelvic region and tougher time walking. (1) A new report describes that spinal manipulation in combination with individualized exercise improves the walking ability in back pain patients like those Chiropractic Solutions sees every day who are suffering with lumbar spinal stenosis better than medical care (medications/epidural steroid injections) and/or group exercise in the short term. (2) Additionally, spinal manipulation for patients with lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) also benefits the relief of leg and back pain, disability, range of motion and patient satisfaction.
