No Exercise Often Increases Risk of More Baton Rouge Pain & Disease Progression

Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers also knows that when our Baton Rouge chiropractic patients do something, they get better in body and mind.

NO EXERCISE INCREASES RISK OF STENOSIS PROGRESSION

Spinal stenosis is a common diagnosis. It is the reduction of the spinal canal area as a result of degeneration. A new study revealed that risk of spinal stenosis progression is greater for those who had spondylolisthesis, had pain (in leg and/or back) when walking, and more severe stenosis. The lack 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 must exercise! Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers helps each of our chiropractic patients find what exercise fits them.

EXERCISE IMPROVES FUNCTION

Nonspecific low back pain sufferers improved their functional disability level better with stabilization and/or McKenzie exercises than with conventional exercise programs. (2) Notice though that exercise did help, conventional or not!

EXERCISE IMPROVES DEPRESSION

For many back pain sufferers with specific or non-specific back pain, chronic or not, may well describe themselves as a little down when their back pain sticks around a while. It is not uncommon. Once more, exercise helps! 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 plus! (3) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers brings in as many positive approaches to back pain relief as possible to help our Baton Rouge back pain patients!
