WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of chronic low back pain and slightly superior for intermediate term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial for pain and activity limitation improvement in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga was proposed as a beneficial combination for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials, yoga was said to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve functional disability from short to long term when compared with non-exercise, usual care, and education. But it had similar effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy. (2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some enjoy physical therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they so desire. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows not every exercise option may be our Fort Wayne back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options are key to participation...and Aaron Chiropractic Clinic has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that up-to-date evidence doesn’t suggest that any one type of exercise is better than any other for back pain relief. That is interesting! They did state that exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP, a significant health and socioeconomic issue (cost, disability, missed work). The most common type of exercise for back pain relief was reported to be motor control exercise working on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should be an option for chronic low back pain patients among other kinds of exercise. The researchers suggested that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what works. (3) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic talks with each Fort Wayne back pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be done. That’s the most important factor!
