Low back pain in older women requires some
attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your
Baton Rouge chiropractor at Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation offer attention! Women who suffer back pain are a
special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we are
happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Baton Rouge BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back
pain in older women stems from abdominal truck
muscle weakness. The women included in this study also
experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor
muscle strength was weak. What ties these concerns together?
Muscle. Researchers explained that muscle weakness clearly
tied low back pain, malnutrition, and decreased
mobility function in older women. The good news was highlighted
that exercise enhanced these issues. (1) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation sees over and over the benefit of exercise for our Baton Rouge back pain patients.
EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Baton Rouge chiropractic patients with back pain desire
pain relief. That is the objective of care. Our
patients frequently try
other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is
7 indicating sever patients need to be treated for one
patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10)
and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study found that these
options often deliver clinically meaningful pain decrease
as shown by the above number-needed-to-treat stats.
Which works over time though? Exercise. The researchers wrote
that the only intervention that demonstrated
sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period ended
was exercise. (2) We present this to foster the
practice of exercise for all our Baton Rouge back pain (and neck
pain) patients. Since this is an article focused
about women with low back pain, Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation encourages
our older women patients
to exercise. It’s part of the chiropractic treatment
plan that incorporates simple exercises as the starting
point!
