Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Williamson Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women demands some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Williamson chiropractor at Apple Country Chiropractic give it! Women with back pain are a special subset of our chiropractic practice with whom we love to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Williamson BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back pain among older women is linked to abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women included in this study also experienced decreased mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What ties these issues together? Muscle. Researchers described that muscle weakness clearly linked low back pain, malnutrition, and decreased mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise improved these factors. (1) Apple Country Chiropractic witnesses over and over the benefit of exercise for our Williamson back pain patients.
EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Williamson chiropractic patients with back pain want pain relief. That’s the goal of care. Our patients frequently see other healthcare providers who recommend options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 meaning 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 reduction as shown by the above number-needed-to-treat statistics. Which works over time though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the single intervention that demonstrated sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We present this to encourage exercise for all our Williamson back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused about women with low back pain, Apple Country Chiropractic urges our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It’s part of the chiropractic treatment plan that incorporates simple exercises as the beginning point!
