Vancouver Back Pain Relief Helped by Walking 90 Minutes Weekly
Just walk! It’s simple. It’s cheap. It’s useful. Walking is an amazing means to get healthy and remain healthy. Walking is a fantastic way to find relief from chronic pain and back pain. Vancouver Disc Centers's Vancouver chiropractic back pain specialist often advises walking as one of the initial activities to try to Vancouver back pain patients. Here’s why…
WALK MORE. SIT LESS.
It may seem strange when Vancouver Disc Centers inquires about your sitting habits when you come in for Vancouver back pain treatment and relief, but it is not! It is well known and now even research documented that sitting for longer periods of time is a risk factor for low back pain. Recent research reports more emphatically that extensive sitting and low physical activity increases low back pain risk even more. (1) Vancouver Disc Centers’s curiosity about your sitting habits makes sense! Vancouver Disc Centers’s recommendation to walk does, too.
