Montreal Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise a few years ago. Speed may have been a goal at one time. Distance may have been the aim. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is a commendable target for back pain sufferers seeking Montreal back pain relief. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic encourages walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for optimal walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR Montreal BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is usually recommended to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented as being effective for low back pain relief. But walking alone is not talked about as much? Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic urges Montreal back pain patients to not tag on the word “just” before “walking”! Walking alone is an amazingly healing activity. Walking is essential to everyday life. Walking is one thing so many of us take for granted until we can not walk or something like back pain stops us from walking like we used to. A new research report supports this: Walking more than an hour and a half a week was associated with a lesser risk of self-reported low back pain in adults over 50 years of age. 90 minutes is not much; regular walking for 30 minutes daily three days a week is optimal. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic suggests that our Montreal chiropractic patients walk.

CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING

Seeing a licensed chiropractor improves walking distance. A recent report found that a comprehensive non-operative training which included an exercise program guided by a chiropractor improved back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, decreased pain and increased walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis sufferers. (2) That’s significant! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and promotes walking 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time. Being able to walk any distance for a half hour is essential!
