Sitka Exercise Helps with Back Pain Relief and Strength
“Doc, what kind of exercise do you think would help?”
“The kind that you will do!”
There is some wit in that response, but it’s true, also. Exercise that you’ll do is the most valuable exercise of all! Whether you experience Sitka neck pain or Sitka back pain, strengthening exercise is positive. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is here to help you figure out what exercise you will do and exercise that will benefit you.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING EXERCISE HELPS
General strength and conditioning exercise helps chronic low back pain patients, especially in terms of pain intensity reduction. Comparing general strength and conditioning exercise to motor control exercise with manual therapy disclosed that the general exercise tended to provide a more diverse range of treatment outcomes. In particular, the general exercise bettered trunk endurance, leg muscle strength and endurance, disability, multifidus muscle volume, and fear of moving in patients with chronic low back pain. (1) A Cochrane Review of published medical literature revealed that motor control exercise is more effective in decreasing chronic low back pain than minimal intervention, but, on its own, motor control exercise doesn’t show itself to be better than other exercise or manual therapy for pain relief. (2) What’s that mean? General strength and conditioning exercise is advantageous for pain reduction by improving the overall body condition. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka helps Sitka back pain patients set up an exercise routine that works for them to maximize pain reduction and increase strength.
EXERCISE AND MANIPULATION
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka also aims to maximize back pain reduction and strength improvement by blending exercise with chiropractic treatment. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka uses The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to enrich these clinical outcomes. A recent report states that combining manipulative treatment with exercise reduced pain and improved functional disability more than exercise alone for non-specific neck pain sufferers. (3) Together, your Sitka chiropractor and you will determine the best suited exercises and the best suited exercise routine to complement your Sitka chiropractic treatment plan to get you back to your best life possible!
