Exercise Improves Sleep and Montreal Back Pain

July 31, 2018

Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What links them together? Exercise! Montreal chiropractic patients come to understand that acting on this one little recommendation to exercise – even just walking! – in their Montreal chiropractic treatment plan pays off in many ways.

TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN

What’s recognized about the sleep and pain connection? It’s known that sleep disturbance and depression influence the back pain patient’s state of mind. Having Montreal back pain can be depressing if it lasts for too long (more than 12 weeks) without relief as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all endorse exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers wondered if poor sleep stops these patients from exercising. (2) Great question! Other researchers then related that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep allows the body to rest and rejuventate for the next day’s adventures. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer takes on the next day with less than optimal capability. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic wants all Montreal chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to deal with their Montreal back pain and do what they can for Montreal back pain relief.

WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN

Exercise is widely recommended to Montreal back pain sufferers to help them find Montreal back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is reported to be quite valuable in managing sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain patients who did stabilization exercise for just 8 weeks in a row, everything got better: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people aged 1 to 91 years discovered that improved sleep quality is tied to habitual physical activity. This study also learned that patients over 40 years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes had poorer sleep though they used more time lying down. (3) As your Montreal back pain specialist, your Montreal chiropractor takes a look at the whole Montreal back pain patient and examines any and all factors when recommending an exercise strategy individualized for each Montreal back pain sufferer.
