Fort Wayne Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise a few years ago. Speed may have been a goal at one time. Distance may have been the aim. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is a worthy target for back pain sufferers seeking Fort Wayne back pain relief. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic encourages walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for prime walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR Fort Wayne BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is commonly recommended to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented as being effective for low back pain relief. But walking alone is not talked about as much? Aaron Chiropractic Clinic encourages Fort Wayne back pain patients to not add the word “just” before “walking”! Walking itself is a remarkably healing activity. Walking is fundamental to everyday life. Walking is something many of us take for granted until we can’t walk or something like back pain stops us from walking like we once did. A recent research report corroborates this: Walking more than ninety minutes each week was related to a lower risk of self-reported low back pain in adults who are 50 years old and over. 90 minutes is not much; regular walking for 30 minutes a day three times a week is ideal. (1) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic suggests that our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients walk.

CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING

Visiting a licensed chiropractor improves walking distance. A new research article found that an all-inclusive non-surgical training which included an exercise program directed by a chiropractor improved back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, eased pain and increased walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis sufferers. (2) That is significant! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and promotes walking 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time. Having the ability to walk any distance for thirty minutes is important!
