Auburn Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise when you were younger. Speed may have been a goal at one time. Distance may have been the aim. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is a commendable target for back pain sufferers seeking Auburn back pain relief. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. suggests walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for optimal walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR Auburn BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is usually 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? Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. urges Auburn back pain patients to not tag on the word “just” before “walking”! Walking itself is an amazingly healing activity. Walking is essential to everyday life. Walking is one thing so many of us underappreciate until we can not walk or something like back pain prevents us from walking like we once did. A new study corroborates this: Walking more than an hour and a half a week was related to a lesser 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 improves walking distance. A recent report discovered that an all-inclusive non-operative training which included an exercise program directed by a chiropractor enhanced back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, decreased pain and increased walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis patients. (2) That is significant! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and promotes walking 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time. Having the ability to walk any distance for 30 minutes is valuable!
