No Exercise Often Increases Risk of More Williamson Pain & Disease Progression

Do something. Walk. Stretch. Move. Patients who suffer with pain benefit when they do something. A lack of exercise is a risk for deteriorating pain, both pain in the body and pain in the mind in the form of depression. Apple Country Chiropractic sees many Williamson back pain patients in pain who also suffer with depression. Apple Country Chiropractic also understands that when our Williamson chiropractic patients do something, they improve in body and mind.

NO EXERCISE RAISES RISK OF STENOSIS PROGRESSION

Spinal stenosis is a familiar diagnosis. It’s the lessening of the spinal canal area as a result of degeneration. A recent study revealed that risk of spinal stenosis progression is higher for those who had spondylolisthesis, had pain (in leg and/or back) when walking, and more severe stenosis. The absence of therapeutic exercise was also found to a risk factor for the progression of spinal stenosis. (1) Back pain sufferers like those with spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis need exercise! Apple Country Chiropractic helps each of our chiropractic patients find what exercise is right for them.

EXERCISE IMPROVES FUNCTION

Nonspecific low back pain sufferers enhanced their functional disability status better with stabilization and/or McKenzie exercises than with conventional exercise programs. (2) Note though that exercise did help, whether or not it was conventional!

EXERCISE IMPROVES DEPRESSION

For many back pain sufferers with specific or non-specific back pain, chronic or not, may well find themselves a little blue when their back pain sticks around a while. It is not uncommon. Once more, exercise to the rescue! Another study showed that exercise (low dose or moderate-dose strength and conditioning) helped reduce depressive symptoms in adults with chronic low back pain. Combining exercise and manual therapy was a bonus! (3) Apple Country Chiropractic brings in as many positive approaches to back pain relief as possible to help our Williamson back pain patients! The Cox® Technic System of Spine Pain Management is one of those approaches.
