Oxford Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise
“Do I have to exercise?”
“Yes, you should if you want to feel better quicker and prevent pain,“ your Oxford chiropractic encourages.
“How long do I have to exercise each day?”
“Not long, just properly,” Satterwhite Chiropractic suggests.
Exercise is not every Oxford back pain or neck pain patient’s ’thing’. Satterwhite Chiropractic knows. Exercise is also so key to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our Oxford chiropractic patients every step of the way to make the most of the exercise effort so that it pays off in pain prevention and relief.
OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES
Neck pain sufferers understand how pain may decrease 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 instructed to do a 20-minutes cervical spine exercise session. Half of them were then also treated with manual therapy applied to the C0-C1 and C2-C3 cervical spine levels. Those who performed the exercise program and received manual therapy did significantly better as far as range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another study revealed that the optimal stretching time of cervical muscles in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome was 30 seconds as contrasted with 15 or 60 seconds or no stretching. This permitted the best benefit to pain intensity reduction while diminishing any adverse effects on neural function of the affected nerve roots and central nervous system. (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic always emphasizes that the proper exercise performed in proper form does not have to take long to be effective! Plus, exercise lays some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be done whenever.
OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES
Incorporating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain makes sense. This type of back pain involves so many people worldwide and is a primary source of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain patient to self-management. Recently, researchers posed that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health issues in such back pain patients - were improved with choices like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise. (3) Satterwhite Chiropractic agrees! Exercise is invaluable on so many fronts.
