Vancouver Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Regular Exercise
Independence. It’s a worthy quality. Sometimes. When it comes to exercise, seeking some guidance more often is better. Vancouver Disc Centers is ready to be your guide! Vancouver back pain sufferers can depend on Vancouver Disc Centers to assemble, demonstrate and supervise a pain-relieving exercise routine just for you!
BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE
Research demonstrates that supervised exercise therapy allows significant symptom relief and bettered quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by boosting maximal walking distance in just 90 days. Sadly, it is not put in to practice enough. Home based exercise therapy with observation devices like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other valuable alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the preferred independence. (1) Vancouver back pain patients may benefit just like these back pain patients. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would value walking more like that!
MORE FREQUENT SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL
A recent study reports that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients delivered significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function compared with unsupervised. (2) A follow-up study compared a more specialized schedule of supervised physical therapy visits – two times a week and one time weekly - to home exercise. It reports specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy two times a week for lumbar spinal stenosis patients allowed significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance rather than once a week PT visits and home exercise alone. (3) Our Vancouver back pain patients would welcome all these improvements, no doubt!
EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN
Improvement is the goal in managing back pain. Independence only takes you so far when dealing with back pain. There’s always a tipping point when the pain just can’t be put up with any longer! Then a visit to the doctor is arranged. Many articles are written about how the doctor seen first often sets the course for resulting care. (That was the subject of another blog!) Concerning exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too rarely used while opioid prescriptions are most ordinarly in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy sessions.
