Sitka Chiropractic Incorporates Simple Exercise for Back Pain Relief

June 26, 2018

So simple: exercise. For a person who just does not exercise or hasn’t felt how good it feels to exercise, it might be so simple. But for a person with back pain, simple exercise can do so much. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka would never persuade our Sitka back pain patients to train for a marathon, but Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka kindly encourages a walk to the mailbox or down the driveway! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka promotes simple exercise to our Sitka back pain patients as part of the comprehensive Sitka chiropractic treatment plan for back pain relief.

WHY EXERCISE FOR Sitka BACK PAIN RELIEF?

Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka knows that exercise (along with spinal manipulation!) adds to the rehabilitation program of patients who have gone through Sitka back surgery. In one report, a patient who had leg pain after back surgery showed 89% improvement at a three month follow-up after getting spinal manipulation and exercise care. (1) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka makes use of exercise and spinal manipulation via the Cox® Technic system to relieve Sitka back pain in sufferers after surgery and to prevent back surgery by lessening the back pain symptom generators.

HOW DOES EXERCISE HELP Sitka BACK PAIN?

Exercise is a possible treatment for Sitka low back pain, obesity and inflammation symptomatology. Why? Adipose, fatty tissue releases numerous types of cytokines - pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory – which enhance the inflammatory response of C-reactive protein which is linked to musculoskeletal pain perception in back pain sufferers. What does this mean? Overweight patients have a tendency to feel more pain. One certain inflammation marker, prostaglandin E2, causes fever and the feeling of pain and inflammation related to low back pain.  Exercise steps in to control these issues. (2) Bottomline: Sitka back pain patients are advised to exercise, move, be active, to the level they can. Begin small. Simple stabilization exercises increased function, prevented fatigue and strengthened transverse abdominis contraction in herniated disc back pain patients. (3)  Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka suggests to start by just wandering to the mailbox or corner then increasing the distance a bit each trip. Running races isn’t required! Sitka back pain patients observe the change!
