Exercise Improves Sleep and Oxford Back Pain
Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What links them together? Exercise! Oxford chiropractic patients come to know that following this one little recommendation to exercise – even just walking! – in their Oxford chiropractic treatment plan benefits in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What’s acknowledged about the sleep and pain connection? It is acknowledged that sleep disturbance and depression affect the back pain patient’s state of mind. Having Oxford back pain can be disheartening if it goes on for too long (more than 12 weeks) without help as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all recommend exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers wondered if poor sleep stops these patients from exercising. (2) Great question! Other researchers then described that such a disruption to sleep is associated with physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep allows the body to rest and regenerate for the next day’s tasks. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer undertakes the next day with less than ideal ability. Satterwhite Chiropractic desires all Oxford chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to cope with their Oxford back pain and do what they can for Oxford back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is commonly suggested to Oxford back pain sufferers in aiding their path to Oxford back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is stated to be quite valuable 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 performed stabilization exercise for just 8 weeks in a row, everything got better: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people aged 1 to 91 years found that improved 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 had poorer sleep and yet they spent more time lying down. (3) As your Oxford back pain specialist, your Oxford chiropractor takes a look at the whole Oxford back pain patient and studies any and all factors when suggesting an exercise strategy individualized for each Oxford back pain sufferer.
