Ashburn and Herndon Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise

“Must I exercise?”

“Only exercise if you want to feel better quicker and prevent pain,“ your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic encourages.

“How much time do I have to spend exercising every day?”

“Not long, just effectively,” Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn advises.

Exercise is not every Ashburn and Herndon back pain or neck pain patient’s ‘cup of tea’. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn understands. Exercise is also so important to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients every step of the way to make the most of the exercise effort so that it pays off in pain relief and prevention.

OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Neck pain sufferers understand how pain may reduce their neck motion. Such neck pain patients were tested for 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. 50% of them were then additionally treated with manual therapy applied to the C0-C1 and C2-C3 cervical spine levels. Those who performed the exercise program and were treated managed significantly better in terms of range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another research project 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 allowed the best benefit to pain intensity reduction while diminishing any negative effects on neural function of the affected nerve roots and central nervous system. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn always stresses that the appropriate exercise done in the right way doesn’t have to take long to be effective! Additionally, exercise puts some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be performed anytime.

OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Integrating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain makes sense. This type of back pain affects so many people worldwide and is a primary source of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain patient to self-management. Recently, researchers suggested that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health issues in these back pain patients - were improved with options like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise. (3) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn agrees! Exercise is invaluable on so many fronts.
