Exercise. Pensacola back pain sufferers hear
the advice to exercise often. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center

benefit for low back pain relief
and prevention…plus a new report reveals benefit for improved
sleep quality!
EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a problem for the low back pain
sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare
providers and researchers analyze proposed
long-term methods to reduce this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise leads the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations with manual therapy and massage in that list as well. (1) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center
offers itself as the Pensacola back pain specialty clinic that many back pain sufferers visit.
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 normal experience. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care usually
involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research,
there is an interesting statistic called “number to treat”
which denotes the number of patients with a certain
condition who need to have it done the treatment
recommendation for 1 of them to find
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 three options, exercise was the only intervention that demonstrated
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 option for chronic low back pain
patients. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center always incorporates it in the
Pensacola chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise places some
control of chronic low back pain in our Pensacola chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
An additional beneficial patient-controlled
alternative is sleep-and-exercise.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many
Pensacola chiropractic patients. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center 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 men and women. There
are differences for each! Men who exercised more often
reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime issues,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more often went
to bed earlier, experienced better sleep
quality, and reported more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is key for so many issues!
