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.

Exercise tops the list of non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations along with manual therapy and massage.

BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE

Numerous chronic back pain sufferers find themselves going to their primary care practitioners first. It’s a pretty standard routing. Primary care recommendations for chronic low back pain care typically 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 undergo the treatment recommendation for 1 of the treatment recipients to get benefit. In this new 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 showed continued chronic low back pain relief after the intervention ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a valued, self-management, non-drug alternative for chronic low back pain patients. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. always incorporates it in the Auburn chiropractic treatment plan.
