Baton Rouge Chiropractic Incorporates Simple Exercise for Back Pain Relief

June 26, 2018

So simple: exercise. For a person who has never exercised or leads a sedentary life, it may not be so simple. But for a person with back pain, simple exercise can be a huge help. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers would never persuade our Baton Rouge back pain patients to prep for a marathon, but Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers kindly encourages a walk to the mailbox or down the driveway! Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers promotes simple exercise to our Baton Rouge back pain patients as part of the comprehensive Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment plan for back pain relief.

WHY EXERCISE FOR Baton Rouge BACK PAIN RELIEF?

Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers knows that exercise (along with spinal manipulation!) adds to the recovery of patients who have undergone Baton Rouge back surgery. In one case study, a patient with leg pain after back surgery found 89% improvement at a three month follow-up after receiving spinal manipulation and exercise care. (1) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers applies exercise and spinal manipulation via the Cox® Technic system to alleviate Baton Rouge back pain in sufferers after surgery and to prevent back surgery by lessening the back pain symptom generators.

HOW DOES EXERCISE HELP Baton Rouge BACK PAIN?

Exercise is a potential treatment for Baton Rouge low back pain, obesity and inflammation symptomatology. How? Adipose, fatty tissue releases numerous types of cytokines - pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory – which heightens the inflammatory response of C-reactive protein which is associated with musculoskeletal pain sensation in back pain sufferers. How does this affect Baton Rouge back pain patients? Overweight patients tend to feel more pain. One certain inflammation marker, prostaglandin E2, triggers fever and the feeling of pain and inflammation related to low back pain.  Exercise steps in to control these issues. (2) Bottomline: Baton Rouge back pain patients are advised to exercise, move, be active, to the degree they can. Start small. Simple stabilization exercises increased function, stopped fatigue and increased transverse abdominis contraction in herniated disc back pain patients. (3)  Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers suggests to start by just wandering to the end of the driveway or corner then increasing the distance a little each trip. Running races isn’t required! Baton Rouge back pain patients see the change!
