New York City Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Regular Exercise
Independence. It’s an admirable quality. Most of the time. When it comes to exercise, getting some guidance more often is better. Rosenberg Wellness Center is ready to be your guide! New York City back pain sufferers can rely on Rosenberg Wellness Center to set up, demonstrate and supervise an exercise routine that is pain relieving specially for you!
BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE
Research demonstrates that supervised exercise therapy begets significant symptom relief and improved quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by increasing maximal walking distance in just 90 days. Sadly, it is underutilized. Home based exercise therapy with observation tools like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other beneficial alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the desired independence. (1) New York City back pain patients may benefit in the same way these back pain sufferers do. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would value walking more in such a way!
MORE REGULAR SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL
A recent study reports that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients provided significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function in comparison to unsupervised. (2) A follow-up study compared a more specific schedule of supervised physical therapy visits – twice a week and one time weekly - to home exercise. It states specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy twice a week for lumbar spinal stenosis patients allowed significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance compared with one time a week PT visits and home exercise exclusively. (3) Our New York City back pain patients would welcome all these improvements, no doubt!
EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN
Improvement is the goal in managing back pain. Independence only takes you so far when dealing with back pain. There is always a tipping point when the pain just cannot be put up with any longer! Then a trip to the doctor is arranged. Many articles are written about the choice of healthcare provider a back pain sufferer sees first sets the course for resulting care. (That was the subject of another blog!) Concerning exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too infrequently used while opioid prescriptions are very common in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy sessions.
