Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with New York City Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women demands some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your New York City chiropractor at Rosenberg Wellness Center provide that attention! Women with back pain are a special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND New York City BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back pain among older women stems from abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women described in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What ties these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers described that muscle weakness clearly tied low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise enhanced these factors.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
New York City chiropractic patients with back pain want pain relief. That’s the aim of care. Our patients often see other healthcare providers who recommend options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating sever patients need to be treated for 1 patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A recent study found that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain decrease as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat statistics. Which works in the long run though? Exercise. The researchers explained that the one intervention that demonstrated sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We share this to encourage exercise for all our New York City back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused about women with low back pain, Rosenberg Wellness Center encourages our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It is central to the chiropractic treatment plan that includes simple exercises as the beginning point!
