Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts life for its sufferers. Baton Rouge chronic low back pain
sufferers look forward to getting their lives back. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation
offers a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do just
that. The treatment plan often includes chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic along with gentle
exercise and nutrition. A couple recent
insights about effective exercise interventions are presented here
for our Baton Rouge back pain patients’ consideration as it is
for you to decide to choose what exercise suits you!
WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis
of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of
chronic low back pain and somewhat superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more effective
for pain and activity limitation improvement
in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking
was suggested to be a beneficial combination
for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga reportedly decreased pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term when compared with
non-exercise, usual care, and education. However it had equal
effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some enjoy physical
therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they want.
Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation understands that not every exercise option may be
our Baton Rouge back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options
are essential to participation...and Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that current
evidence doesn’t propose that any single
form of exercise is better than any other for back
pain relief. That’s interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP,
a substantial health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common form of exercise for back pain relief was reported as motor control exercise working
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not
superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an alternative for chronic low back pain patients among
other kinds of exercise. The researchers indicated
that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her
doctor/therapist. (3) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation talks with each Baton Rouge back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
done. That is the key!
