Most Chiropractic Clinic has a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do exactly that. The treatment plan often includes chiropractic spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic along with gentle exercise and nutrition. A couple of the latest insights about effective exercise interventions are presented here for our Murfreesboro back pain patients’ consideration as it is up to you to select what exercise suits you!

WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options

Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking was found to be as effective as control interventions for short term relief of chronic low back pain and slightly superior for intermediate term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial to reduce pain and improve activity in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga was proposed as a valuable combination for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials, yoga was said to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve functional disability from short to long term when compared with non-exercise, usual care, and education. But it had equal effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy. (2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some like physical therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they so desire. Most Chiropractic Clinic knows not every exercise option may be our Murfreesboro back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options are essential to participation...and Most Chiropractic Clinic has them!

MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES

One set of researchers wrote that up-to-date evidence doesn’t propose that any single form of exercise is superior to any other for back pain relief. That is interesting! They did state that exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP, a major health and socioeconomic issue (cost, disability, missed work).  The most common type of exercise for back pain relief was reported as motor control exercise which works on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should be an option for chronic low back pain patients among other kinds of exercise. The researchers indicated that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her doctor/therapist. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic chats with each Murfreesboro back pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be performed. That is the most important factor!
