Auburn Back Pain Relief with Exercise & Chiropractic
As any Auburn back pain patient understands, finding relief can be challenging. Many have tried multiple treatments and healthcare providers. But did you know that exercise could be just the right addition to your attempts at getting back pain relief? According to the CHAMPS Study-DK, associations between cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be moderated by sex and health-related physical activity. (1) In other words, exercise can help decrease back pain. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. presents some information about how this works.
HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH Auburn BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has proven to be beneficial for those who have chronic back pain in a multitude of ways. First, it strengthens core and lower back muscles which support your spine and lessen strain on it. Strengthening these muscles can help alleviate some of the pressure exerted on your spine and reduce the amount of back pain you feel due to poor posture or bad habits like slouching. Further, exercise helps boost flexibility in your joints; it boosts blood circulation which helps promote healing; and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help lower inflammation related to chronic back pain. (2,3) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is valuable to note that when starting an exercise program for Auburn back pain relief, you should start slowly and gradually up the intensity over time as your body adapts. It’s also valuable to select low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming rather than high impact exercises like running or jumping as these can put additional strain on your spine and make matters worse rather than better. With that, moderate aerobic exercise mixed with stretching and strengthening exercises has been shown to be effective in decreasing lower back pain for many back pain sufferers with chronic conditions like back pain. Auburn back pain patients have a great exercise coach at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. as researchers write that chiropractors actively promote (and participate in their own) physical activity by offering exercise information, questioning patients about their physical activity level, and advising back pain patients about proper exercises to help their conditions.
