“I’m 60/65/70/75/80
years old. Do I have to keep exercising?” You sure do! The old

our patients’ commitment to keep exercising. We are confident

EXERCISE FOR POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN
For post-menopausal women it’s even more important to keep exercising. 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, specifically a supervised exercise program over a home-based plan.
(1) Would you agree with Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka 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 ought to do sometimes.
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka does that for our Sitka back pain patients!
EXERCISE FOR ALL BACK PAIN SUFFERERS
No matter their age, Sitka
back pain patients do better with exercise. Reviewers of the
exercise-for-back-pain-relief medical literature give in to
the published evidence and suggest that patients
do exercises they enjoy and are able to do easily.
Research’s best-evidence on rehabilitation for chronic low back
pain states that spinal manipulation and pain neuroscience
education missed with exercise with or without psychological
therapy is best. Including
the psychological component to exercise seems to deliver
better outcomes that are more long-term. (2) It is never a bad idea|It never hurts to get
help for feelings and emotions during difficult times like experiencing back
pain or neck pain. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka appreciates the opportunity to direct
back pain patients to find the care they need.
