New York City Back Pain Relief with Exercise & Chiropractic
As any sufferer of New York City back pain understands, getting relief can be challenging. You may have tried multiple treatments and healthcare providers. But did you know that exercise could be just the right addition to your attempts at getting back pain relief? According to the CHAMPS Study-DK, associations between cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be moderated by sex and health-related physical activity. (1) In other words, exercise can help reduce back pain. Rosenberg Wellness Center presents some information about how this works.
HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH New York City BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has proven itself beneficial for those who suffer with chronic back pain in a multitude of ways. First, it strengthens the muscles in your core and lower back which support your spine and reduce strain on it. Strengthening these muscles can help alleviate some of the pressure exerted on your spine and decrease the amount of back pain you experience due to bad posture or bad habits like slouching. Further, exercise helps boost flexibility in your joints; it increases blood circulation which helps support healing; and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help lessen inflammation related to chronic back pain. (2,3) Rosenberg Wellness Center combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is important to note that when beginning an exercise program for New York City back pain relief, you should start slowly and gradually raise the intensity over time as your body adapts. It’s also important to select low-impact exercises like walking or swimming rather than high impact exercises such as running or jumping because these can place additional strain on your spine and make matters worse rather than better. Having said that, moderate aerobic exercise mixing strengthening and stretching exercises has been shown to be helpful in reducing lower back pain for many people suffering from chronic conditions like back pain. New York City back pain patients have a great exercise partner at Rosenberg Wellness Center as researchers write that chiropractors actively endorse (and participate in their own) physical activity by providing exercise information, asking patients about their physical activity level, and counseling back pain patients about suitable exercises for their specific conditions.
