EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a problem for the low back pain sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare providers and researchers study proposed long-term methods to reduce this problem for whose sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise leads the list of non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations with manual therapy and massage in that list as well.

BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Numerous chronic back pain sufferers visit their primary care practitioners first. It’s a pretty normal experience. Primary care recommendations for chronic low back pain care usually involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research, there is a curious statistic called “number to treat” which indicates the number of patients with a certain condition who need to go through the treatment recommendation for 1 of the treatment recipients to get benefit. In this new study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs 10. Of these 3 options, exercise was the only intervention that showed sustained chronic low back pain relief after the intervention ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a useful, self-management, non-drug option for chronic low back pain patients. Apple Country Chiropractic always incorporates it in the Williamson chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some control of chronic low back pain in our Williamson chiropractic patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
Another beneficial patient-controlled option is the sleep and exercise option. Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many Williamson chiropractic patients. Apple Country Chiropractic often hears our patients talk about sleep difficulties. Sleep is renewing for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes prescribed to address sleep and mood issues. An interesting study about the relationship between sleep and exercise highlights some interesting findings in young men and women. Each is different! Men who exercised more frequently reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime issues, and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went to bed earlier, experienced better sleep quality, and described more benefit from sleep, less depressive mood, and less anger.
