Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Auburn Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women requires some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Auburn chiropractor at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. give it! Women with back pain are a special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Auburn BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back pain among older women stems from abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women included in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What ties these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers described that muscle weakness clearly tied low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was highlighted that exercise enhanced these issues.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Auburn chiropractic patients with back pain desire pain relief. That’s the objective of care. Our patients often try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating 7 patients need to be treated for 1 patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study found that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain reduction as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works in the long run though? Exercise. The researchers wrote 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 Auburn back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused about women with low back pain, Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. encourages our older women patients to exercise. It’s central to the chiropractic treatment plan that involves simple exercises as the starting point!
