Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Montreal Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women demands some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Montreal chiropractor at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic give it! Women who experience back pain are a special subset of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Montreal BACK PAIN
A recent report shared that low back pain among older women stems from abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women described in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers described that muscle weakness directly tied low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was highlighted that exercise improved these factors.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Montreal chiropractic patients with back pain desire pain relief. That’s the aim of care. Our patients frequently see other healthcare providers who recommend options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 meaning 7 patients need to be treated for one patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A recent study found that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain reduction as shown by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works over time though? Exercise. The researchers explained that the single intervention that showed sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We share this to foster the practice of exercise for all our Montreal back pain (and neck pain) patients. For purposes of this article about women with low back pain, Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic encourages our older women patients to exercise. It’s part of the chiropractic treatment plan that incorporates simple exercises as the starting point!
