Vancouver Chiropractic Care Urges Exercise for Back Pain Sufferers and Post-Menopausal Women Alike

“I’m 60/65/70/75/80 years old. Do I have to keep exercising?” You sure do! The old saying of “move it or lose it” rings true! Exercise is an integral part of the Vancouver chiropractic treatment plan at Vancouver Disc Centers. And we know our Vancouver chiropractic patients waver on their commitment to exercise. We get it and keep cultivating our patients’ commitment to keep moving. We are confident that once you realize how good you feel with exercise as part of your daily life, you will keep doing it!

EXERCISE FOR POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

For post-menopausal women exercise is even more valuable. In the latest|a recent study of post-menopausal women with vertebral fractures, spinal pain, back extensor muscle strength, trunk-arm endurance, kyphosis, functional mobility, and quality of life all improve with exercise, particularly a supervised rather than a home-based exercise plan. (1) Would you agree with Vancouver Disc Centers that if there is supervision, the exercise is more likely to be done and done the right way? We all need a little extra prompting to do what we should on occasion. Vancouver Disc Centers does that for our Vancouver back pain patients!

EXERCISE FOR ALL BACK PAIN SUFFERERS

Regardless of their age, Vancouver back pain patients do better with exercise. Reviewers of the exercise-for-back-pain-relief medical literature yield to the published facts and propose that patients do exercises they like and can do simply. Research’s best-evidence on rehabilitation for chronic low back pain says that spinal manipulation and pain neuroscience education combined with exercise with or without psychological therapy is useful. Adding the psychological component to exercise seems to generate better outcomes that last longer. (2) It is never a bad idea|It never hurts to reach out for help with the emotional aspect of back pain and neck pain. Vancouver Disc Centers values the opportunity to help back pain patients to get the care they need.
