and prevention…plus a new report reveals benefit for improved

EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a problem for the low back pain
sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare
providers and researchers investigate suggested
long-term methods to decrease this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise tops the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations with manual therapy and massage in that list as well. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries

which many back pain sufferers see.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Many chronic back pain sufferers find themselves going to their primary care practitioners
first. it is a pretty standard routing. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care usually
involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research,
there is a curious statistic called “number to treat”
which denotes the number of patients with a certain
condition who need to have it done the treatment
recommendation for 1 of them to find
benefit. In this recent study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low
back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs
10. Of these three options, exercise was the only intervention that demonstrated
sustained chronic low back pain relief after the intervention
ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a valued,
self-management, non-drug option for chronic low back pain
patients. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries always incorporates it in the
Manchester chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise places some
control of chronic low back pain in our Manchester chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
An additional advantageous patient-controlled
option is sleep-and-exercise.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many
Manchester chiropractic patients. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries often hears our
patients talk about sleep difficulties. Sleep is renewing
for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes prescribed to
address sleep and mood issues. A noteworthy study about
the relationship between sleep and exercise features some interesting
findings in young women and men. There
are differences for each! Men who exercised more frequently
reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime issues,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more often went
to bed earlier, had improved sleep
quality, and described more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is important for so many issues!
