Oxford Chiropractic Exercise Recommendation Benefits for Sleep and Back Pain
Exercise. Oxford back pain sufferers hear the advice to exercise a lot. Satterwhite Chiropractic recommends it, too. Exercise keeps showing its benefit for low back pain relief and prevention…and a new report shows benefit for better sleep quality!
EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a burden for the low back pain sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare providers and researchers study proposed long-term methods to decrease this problem for whose sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise tops the list of non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations with manual therapy and massage in that list as well. (1) Satterwhite Chiropractic offers itself as the Oxford back pain specialty clinic that many back pain sufferers visit.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Countless chronic back pain sufferers visit their primary care practitioners first. It’s a pretty normal experience. Primary care recommendations for chronic low back pain care usually involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research, there is a curious statistic called “number to treat” which denotes the number of patients with a certain condition who need to undergo the treatment recommendation for 1 of them to get benefit. In this recent study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs 10. Of these three options, exercise was the only intervention that demonstrated sustained chronic low back pain relief after the intervention ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a valued, self-management, non-drug alternative for chronic low back pain patients. Satterwhite Chiropractic always includes it in the Oxford chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some control of chronic low back pain in our Oxford chiropractic patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
Another advantageous patient-controlled option is the sleep and exercise option. Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many Oxford chiropractic patients. Satterwhite Chiropractic often hears our patients bring up sleep difficulties. Sleep is rejuvenating for the body and the mind. Exercise is often prescribed to address sleep and mood issues. An interesting study about the relationship between sleep and exercise features some interesting findings in young women and men. There are differences for each! Men who exercised more often reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime trouble, and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went to bed early, had better sleep quality, and described more benefit from sleep, less depressive mood, and less anger.
