EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a burden for the low back pain sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare providers and researchers examine suggested long-term ways to reduce this problem for whose sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise tops the list of non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations along with manual therapy and massage.

BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Numerous chronic back pain sufferers find themselves going to their primary care practitioners first. It’s a pretty normal experience. Primary care recommendations for chronic low back pain care often involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research, there is a curious statistic called “number to treat” which indicates the number of patients with a certain condition who need to undergo the treatment recommendation for 1 of the treatment recipients to report benefit. In this new study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs 10. Of these 3 options, exercise was the only intervention that showed continued chronic low back pain relief after the intervention ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a useful, self-management, non-drug option for chronic low back pain patients. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic always incorporates it in the Montreal chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise places some control of chronic low back pain in our Montreal chiropractic patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
Another advantageous patient-controlled alternative is sleep-and-exercise. Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many Montreal chiropractic patients. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic often hears our patients talk about sleep difficulties. Sleep is rejuvenating for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes prescribed to address sleep and mood issues. An interesting study about the relationship between sleep and exercise highlights some interesting findings in young men and women. There are differences for each! Men who exercised more often reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime trouble, and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more often went to bed early, had better sleep quality, and reported more benefit from sleep, less depressive mood, and less anger.
