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 came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of chronic low back pain and somewhat superior for intermediate term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more effective to reduce pain and improve activity in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking was suggested to be a beneficial combination for CLBP patients. (1) In an analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials, yoga reportedly decreased 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 walk. Some like physical therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they want. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows not every exercise option may be our Auburn back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options are key to participation...and Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that current evidence does not indicate that any single form of exercise is better than any other for back pain relief. That is interesting! They did state that exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP, a significant health and socioeconomic issue (cost, disability, missed work). The most common type of exercise for back pain relief was described as being motor control exercise working on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should be an option for chronic low back pain patients among other types of exercise. The researchers suggested that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what works. (3) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. chats with each Auburn back pain sufferer to learn about what exercise will work and will be performed. That is the most important factor!
