Murfreesboro Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise a few years ago. Speed may have been a goal at one time. Distance may have been the target. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is a worthy target for back pain sufferers seeking Murfreesboro back pain relief. Most Chiropractic Clinic encourages walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for peak walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR Murfreesboro BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is commonly recommended to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented as being effective for relief of low back pain. But walking alone is not talked about as much? Most Chiropractic Clinic encourages Murfreesboro back pain patients to not tag on the word “just” before “walking”! Walking alone is a remarkably healing activity. Walking is central to everyday life. Walking is something many of us undervalue until we can not walk or something like back pain stops us from walking like we used to. A recent study supports this: Walking more than an hour and a half per week was related to a lesser risk of self-reported low back pain in adults who are 50 years old and over. 90 minutes is not bad; regular walking for 30 minutes a day three days a week is optimal. (1) Most Chiropractic Clinic suggests that our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients walk.

CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING

Visiting a licensed chiropractor increases walking distance. A recent article found that an all-inclusive non-surgical training which involved an exercise program guided by a chiropractor enhanced back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, decreased pain and increased walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis patients. (2) That is important! Most Chiropractic Clinic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and encourages walking 30 minutes three times a week. Having the ability to walk any distance for a half hour is valuable!
