Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Ashburn and Herndon Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women requires some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn give it! Women with back pain are a special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Ashburn and Herndon BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back pain in older women stems from abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women described in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers explained that muscle weakness directly linked low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was highlighted that exercise enhanced these issues. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn witnesses over and over the benefit of exercise for our Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients.
EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients with back pain want pain relief. That’s the goal of care. Our patients often try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating sever patients need to be treated for one patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study reported that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain decrease as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works in the long run though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the one intervention that demonstrated sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period ended was exercise. (2) We share this to encourage exercise for all our Ashburn and Herndon back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused about women with low back pain, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn urges our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It is part of the chiropractic treatment plan that involves simple exercises as the starting point!
