Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts life for its sufferers. Montreal chronic low back pain
sufferers want their lives back. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic
has a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do exactly
that. The treatment plan often involves chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic along with gentle
exercise and nutrition. A few new
insights about effective exercise interventions are presented here
for our Montreal back pain patients’ consideration as it’s
for you to decide to choose what exercise suits you!
WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis
of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of
chronic low back pain and somewhat superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial
to reduce pain and improve activity
in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga
was suggested to be a beneficial combination
for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga reportedly decreased pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term compared to
non-exercise, usual care, and education. But it had the same
effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can walk. Some like physical
therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they so desire.
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic understands that not every exercise option may be
our Montreal back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are essential to participation...and Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that present
evidence does not indicate that any one
form of exercise is better than any other for back
pain relief. That is interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP,
a substantial health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common form of exercise for back pain relief was described as
being motor control exercise working
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not
superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an option for chronic low back pain patients among
other forms of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what
works. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic talks with each Montreal back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
done. That’s the key!
