As any sufferer of Baton Rouge
back pain knows, getting relief can be a
challenge. You may have tried multiple treatments and healthcare providers. But
did you know that exercise could be an extra notch in the key to relieving your back
pain? According to the CHAMPS Study-DK, links between
cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be moderated
by sex and health-related physical activity. (1) Namely, exercise can help reduce back pain. Let’s take a look at how this
works.
HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH Baton Rouge BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has proven itself
beneficial for those who experience
chronic back pain in a multitude of ways. First, it strengthens the muscles in your core and lower back which
support your spine and lessen strain on it. Strengthening
these muscles can help ease some of the pressure exerted
on your spine and lower the amount of back pain you experience
due to bad posture or poor habits like slouching. Additionally,
exercise helps increase flexibility in your joints; it enhances
blood circulation which helps further healing;
and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help lessen
inflammation associated with chronic back pain. (2,3) Spine & Sports Rehab Center
combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with
Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research
showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce
pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is valuable to be aware
that when initiating an exercise program for Baton Rouge
back pain relief, you should start slowly and gradually up the intensity over time as your body adjusts. It
is also valuable to choose low-impact
exercises like walking or swimming rather than high impact
exercises like running or jumping as these
can put extra strain on your spine and aggravate
rather than improve. With that, moderate aerobic exercise combined with stretching and
strengthening exercises has been proven useful
in reducing lower back pain for many back pain sufferers
with chronic conditions like back pain. Baton Rouge back pain patients have a
great exercise coach at Spine & Sports Rehab Center as researchers explain
that chiropractors actively endorse (and participate in their
own) physical activity by offering exercise information, asking
patients about their physical activity level, and counseling back
pain patients about suitable exercises to
help their conditions. (4)
