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. Doing both yoga and walking
was proposed as a valuable combination
for CLBP patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga was reported
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. However it had the same
effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some enjoy physical
therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they so desire.
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn understands that not every exercise option may be
our Ashburn back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are essential to participation...and Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One set of researchers wrote that up-to-date
evidence does not indicate that any one
form of exercise is superior to any other for back
pain relief. That’s interesting! They did report 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 as motor control exercise which works
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not
superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an alternative for chronic low back pain patients among
other forms of exercise. The researchers indicated
that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what
works. (3) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn talks with each Ashburn back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
performed. That is the most important factor!
