Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Murfreesboro Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women demands some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Murfreesboro chiropractor at Most Chiropractic Clinic provide that attention! Women who experience back pain are a special subset of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Murfreesboro BACK PAIN
A recent report shared that low back pain in older women is linked to abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women described in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers described that muscle weakness directly linked low back pain, malnutrition, and decreased mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise improved these factors. (1) Most Chiropractic Clinic sees over and over the benefit of exercise for our Murfreesboro back pain patients.
EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Murfreesboro chiropractic patients with back pain want pain relief. That is the aim of care. Our patients frequently try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating sever patients need to be treated for one patient to report benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study reported that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain decrease as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat statistics. Which works over time though? Exercise. The researchers explained that the single intervention that demonstrated sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We share this to foster the practice of exercise for all our Murfreesboro back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused about women with low back pain, Most Chiropractic Clinic urges our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It is central to the chiropractic treatment plan that involves simple exercises as the starting point!
