New York City Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise a few years ago. Speed may have been a goal at one time. Distance may have been the target. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is a worthy goal for back pain sufferers seeking New York City back pain relief. Rosenberg Wellness Center suggests walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for optimal walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR New York City BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is frequently recommended to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented as being effective for low back pain relief. But what about walking? Rosenberg Wellness Center urges New York City back pain patients to not tag on the word “just” before “walking”! Walking itself is an incredibly healing activity. Walking is essential to everyday life. Walking is one thing many of us underappreciate until we can not walk or something like back pain prevents us from walking like we used to. A new study supports this: Walking more than ninety minutes a week was associated with a lower risk of self-reported low back pain in adults who are 50 years old and over. 90 minutes is not much; regular walking for 30 minutes a day three days a week is ideal.

CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING

Seeing a licensed chiropractor increases walking distance. A new research article discovered that a comprehensive non-operative training which involved an exercise program guided by a chiropractor enhanced back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, decreased pain and increased walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis sufferers. (2) That is important! Rosenberg Wellness Center uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and promotes walking 30 minutes three times a week. Having the ability to walk any distance for a half hour is important!
