Sitka Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise
“Do I have to exercise?”
“Only exercise if you want to feel better faster and prevent pain,“ your Sitka chiropractic encourages.
“How long do I have to exercise every day?”
“Not long, just effectively,” Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka advises.
Exercise is not every Sitka back pain or neck pain patient’s ’thing’. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka understands. Exercise is also so important to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our Sitka chiropractic patients every step of the way to make the most of the exercise effort so that it results in pain relief and prevention.
OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES
Neck pain sufferers know how pain may reduce their neck motion. Such neck pain patients were tested as to their cervical range of motion and pain intensity with a flexion-rotation test. They were then directed to do a 20-minutes cervical spine exercise session. 50% of them were then additionally treated with manual therapy applied to the C0-C1 and C2-C3 cervical spine levels. Those who did the exercise program and received manual therapy benefitted significantly better in terms of range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another research project revealed that the optimal stretching time of cervical muscles in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome was 30 seconds as opposed to 15 or 60 seconds or no stretching. This permitted the most benefit to pain intensity decrease while minimizing any negative effects on neural function of the affected nerve roots and central nervous system. (2) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka always emphasizes that the appropriate exercise performed in the right way does not have to take long to be effective! Additionally, exercise lays some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be done anytime.
OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES
Integrating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain does make sense. This type of back pain impacts so many people worldwide and is a leading source of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain patient to self-management. Recently, researchers suggested that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health issues in these back pain patients - were enhanced with choices like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise. (3) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka agrees! Exercise is invaluable in so many ways.
