Exercise Improves Sleep and Sitka Back Pain
Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What links them together? Exercise! Sitka chiropractic patients come to understand that acting on this one little recommendation to exercise – even just walking! – in their Sitka chiropractic treatment plan benefits in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What is recognized about the sleep and pain connection? It’s known that sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain patient’s state of mind. Having Sitka back pain can be disheartening if it lasts for too long (more than 12 weeks) without respite as is the case in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all recommend exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers wondered if poor sleep prevents these patients from being physically active. (2) Great question! Other researchers then reported that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and rejuventate for the next day’s tasks. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer tackles the next day with less than optimal capability. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka desires all Sitka chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to deal with their Sitka back pain and do what they can for Sitka back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is widely suggested to Sitka back pain sufferers to help them find Sitka back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is reported to be quite useful in the management of sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain patients who did stabilization exercise for only 8 weeks straight, everything got better: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people aged 1 to 91 years discovered that better sleep quality is tied to habitual physical activity. This study also learned that patients over 40 years of age with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced poorer sleep though they spent more time lying down. (3) As your Sitka back pain specialist, your Sitka chiropractor takes a look at the whole Sitka back pain patient and studies any and all factors when recommending an exercise strategy personalized for each Sitka back pain sufferer.
