Exercise Improves Sleep and Auburn Back Pain

Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What ties them together? Exercise! Auburn chiropractic patients come to understand that following this one little recommendation to exercise – even just walking! – in their Auburn chiropractic treatment plan pays off in many ways.

TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN

What’s known about the sleep and pain connection? It’s acknowledged that sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain patient’s state of mind. Experiencing Auburn back pain can be depressing if it lasts for too long (more than 12 weeks) without relief as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all recommend exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned if poor sleep stops these patients from exercising. (2) Good question! Other researchers then described that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and regenerate for the next day’s adventures. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer attempts the next day with less than ideal capability. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. wants all Auburn chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to cope with their Auburn back pain and do what they can for Auburn back pain relief.

WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN

Exercise is widely suggested to Auburn back pain sufferers in aiding their path to Auburn back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is written to be quite useful in managing sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain patients who performed stabilization exercise for only 8 weeks in a row, everything got better: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people from 1 to 91 years old discovered that better sleep quality is tied to habitual physical activity. This study also found that patients over 40 years of age with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced poorer sleep though they spent more time lying down.
