Montreal Exercise Helps Cope with Pain and Aging

"If you don't keep going, you're gonna die." How is that for a title to a paper?! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic was even startled a bit, but it is true. No matter your age, your pain, your life plan, we all have to keep going forward! This is never more true for middle- to older-age Montreal back and neck pain sufferers. Fortunately, Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is here to help.

ANTI-AGING EXERCISE BENEFITS

We all start looking for anti-aging benefits at a certain age! One group of researchers stated that regular exercise has multi-system anti-aging effects and called for more research to acquire knowledge of just how molecular mediators of exercise benefits function in older folks rather than just looking for pharmaceuticals. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic wholeheartedly agrees! Walking is great! This an important message for all Montreal pain sufferers!

BENEFICIAL DAILY EXERCISE STEPS

Walk each day with a goal of 7000 steps. Why? Research. 2,110 black and white men and women and their steps-per-day counts were investigated. They wore an accelerometer from 2005 to 2006 and then were monitored for a mean of 10.8 years. Their stats were analyzed in 2020 and 2021 to measure what, if any, association was found between steps-per-day and all-mortality death risk. This study was a portion of the larger CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study. Steps-taken-per-day were described as “low” (less than 7000), “moderate” (7000-9999) and “high” (more than 10,000). Stepping intensity – stepping rate – played a role, too. Moderate/high step rate was associated with a decreased risk of mortality in black and white women and men in middle-age who walked 7000 steps or more a day compared with those who took less. (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic sees how walking helps – 7000 steps or not – and encourages Montreal chiropractic patients to take walks as best they can. Any walk works!

EXERCISE HELPS COPING WITH PAIN

How do most Montreal back pain patients cope with chronic low back pain? Some of the things people may say or feel are these:

• I feel helpless because nothing works.
• I feel down and depressed.
• I distantly wish for an end to it.
• I accept the reality of my pain.
• The pain stays, I keep going.

What about you? There’s no right or wrong answer. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic sees them all! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is here to help. We meet each back pain patient – old or young, active or inactive – where each one is. We create a treatment plan together. The researchers who formulated the above basic 5 categories of how patients manage chronic low back pain recognized how pain impacts life. (3) So does Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic. Consulting our Montreal chiropractic office is a good step toward perseverance in managing pain and enjoying life!
