EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a burden for the low back pain sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare providers and researchers investigate proposed long-term ways to reduce this problem for whose sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise tops the list of non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations with manual therapy and massage in that list as well.

BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Many chronic back pain sufferers visit their primary care practitioners first. it is a pretty standard routing. Primary care recommendations for chronic low back pain care often involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research, there is a curious statistic called “number to treat” which denotes the number of patients with a certain condition who need to go through the treatment recommendation for 1 of them to report benefit. In this new study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs 10. Of these 3 options, exercise was the only intervention that showed continued chronic low back pain relief after the intervention ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a valued, self-management, non-drug alternative for chronic low back pain patients. Vancouver Disc Centers always incorporates it in the Vancouver chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some control of chronic low back pain in our Vancouver chiropractic patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
Another advantageous patient-controlled option is the sleep and exercise option. Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many Vancouver chiropractic patients. Vancouver Disc Centers often hears our patients bring up sleep difficulties. Sleep is renewing for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes prescribed to address sleep and mood issues. A noteworthy study about the relationship between sleep and exercise features some interesting findings in young women and men. Each is different! Men who exercised more frequently reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime issues, and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went to bed early, experienced better sleep quality, and reported more benefit from sleep, less depressive mood, and less anger.
