Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What ties
them together? Exercise! Baton Rouge chiropractic patients come to realize
that following this one little recommendation to
exercise – even just walking! – in their Baton Rouge chiropractic
treatment plan pays off in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What is acknowledged about
the sleep and pain connection? It’s acknowledged that
sleep disturbance and depression affect the back pain
patient’s state of mind. Experiencing Baton Rouge
back pain can be depressing if it goes on
for too long (more than 12 weeks) without help as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all recommend
exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned
if poor sleep prevents these patients from exercising. (2) Great question! Other researchers then described
that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical
inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and
rejuventate for the next day’s adventures. Without
sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer takes on
the next day with less than optimal ability. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation
wants all Baton Rouge chiropractic care patients to be fully
ready to deal with their Baton Rouge back pain and do what
they can for Baton Rouge back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is widely suggested
to Baton Rouge back pain sufferers in aiding their
path to Baton Rouge back pain
relief. Stabilization exercise is reported
to be very useful in managing
sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic
low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain
patients who did stabilization exercise for only 8
weeks in a row, everything got better: sleep
quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of
1645 people from 1 to 91 years old found
that better sleep quality is linked to routine
physical activity. This study also found that patients over 40
years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced
poorer sleep and yet they used more time lying down. (3) As your Baton Rouge back pain specialist, your Baton Rouge chiropractor considers the whole Baton Rouge back
pain patient and studies any and all factors when recommending
an exercise plan personalized for each
Baton Rouge back pain sufferer.
