You & Olympians: Have Pain, Find Relief, Return to Exercise Year-Round
Everybody ought to exercise. Everybody needs to move. Physical activity is for each and every one of us. Is 5K running or rappelling up a cliff required? Not at all! Walking is superb. Muscle strengthening is superb. Gardening when the season is right is amazing. No gyms are even necessary for the physical activity that will make you feel good. If a knee or back injury occurs – and they do to the best of us! – your Auburn chiropractor at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is here to return you to moving with gentle, safe spinal distraction manipulation…and knee distraction for the familiar issue of knee pain!
EXERCISE IN ANY SEASON
A survey conducted in Finland in 2017 followed the physical activity participation of 18-64 year olds and 65+ year-olds. Researchers discovered that the 18-64 year olds met the recommended guidelines for physical activity – 42% of men and 39% of women – better than the 65+ year olds – 26% men and 20% women. What were the most popular interests people took part in throughout the year? Cleaning/maintenance work, walking, and stair climbing. What exercises did they do most consistently all year regardless of age/gender/season? Muscle-strengthening exercises and workout. Swimming, skiing, gardening, jogging, and stair climbing were more age/gender/season dependent. The researchers finally concluded that there are particular conditioning activities people will do. Proposals for physical activity recommendations must incorporate those to encourage the most physical activity possible. (1) What do you like to do? Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is confident our Auburn chiropractic patients and their families can discover exercises to do any time of year!

OLYMPIC EXERCISE
Winter and summer, Olympians move! They are very much like us though their training may be a bit more intense. Elite athletes like the Olympians deal with pain and depression and keep going. A study of Olympians from the 1948 to 2018 games found that 32.4% describe current pain, and 35.9% have functional limitations they connect to their Olympics’ days. Knee (20.6% lasting for a median of 120 days) and lumbar spine (13.1% continuing for 100 days) were the top two injuries Olympians suffered in their training days. Depression was recounted by 6.6% of them.
