GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Quality in healthcare delivery is talked about so much. Providers and patients want the highest quality care possible in delivering care and receiving care. Interprofessional collaboration rises to the top when researchers analyze systems for the care of back pain like suitable use of screening and preventive services. (1) Researchers have also put together 70 quality values for chiropractic delivery that are standardized as well as evidence-based that take into account patient worries and higher clinical outcomes. (2) Physical activity certainly is a component of a quality chiropractic healthcare plan for Sitka pain relief.
BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN
In a recent survey, chiropractors reported that the biggest concern they held in managing back pain patients was patient follow through (making appointments, doing exercises, following at-home instructions, etc.). (3) In another survey, 90% of chiropractors stated that they were optimistic about healthier patient lifestyles. These chiropractors also shared that they were actively engaged in promoting physical activity, recommending exercises to patients for their particular issue, inquiring how the exercises are going, and counseling patients in the proper way to do exercises as well as value of doing exercises. (4) One way that patients seem to respond more positively and be more willing to do physical activity is the use of a mobile app. Apps that are build built around reported pain, pain intensity, and app features like audio explanation and animation of each exercise are well received. (5) Doing the right exercises in the right way typically brings about the rightfully desired outcome.
ADD IN SOME DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING!
Core stabilization exercises are usually recommended to back pain patients. One new study that incorporated diaphragmatic breathing exercises found many advantages for chronic low back pain patients: improved muscle activity, chest expansion, quality of sleep, improved disability and physical activity and pain scores, decreased fear avoidance, and increased physical activity, among others. (6) As a part of your healthcare team, your chiropractor at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka feels a responsibility to encourage physical activity so that you can take care of you.
