Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What ties
them together? Exercise! Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic patients come to realize
that following this one little recommendation to
exercise – even just walking! – in their Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic
treatment plan pays off in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What’s acknowledged about
the sleep and pain connection? It’s acknowledged that
sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain
patient’s state of mind. Having Burlington and Hamilton
back pain can be disheartening if it lasts
for too long (more than 12 weeks) without relief as is the
case in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all endorse
exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned
if poor sleep stops these patients from being
physically active. (2) Great question! Other researchers then reported
that such a disruption to sleep is associated with physical
inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep allows the body to rest and
regenerate for the next day’s tasks. Without
sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer takes on
the next day with less than ideal ability. Spinal Care Clinic
wants all Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic care patients to be fully
ready to cope with their Burlington and Hamilton back pain and do what
they can for Burlington and Hamilton back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is widely suggested
to Burlington and Hamilton back pain sufferers to help them find Burlington and Hamilton back pain
relief. Stabilization exercise is written
to be very useful in managing
sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic
low back pain patients. In a review of 26 chronic back pain
patients who did stabilization exercise for only 8
weeks straight, everything improved: sleep
quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of
1645 people aged 1 to 91 years found
that improved sleep quality is tied to routine
physical activity. This study also found that patients over 40
years of age with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced
poorer sleep and yet they spent more time lying down. (3) As your Burlington and Hamilton back pain specialist, your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor takes a look at the whole Burlington and Hamilton back
pain patient and examines any and all factors when suggesting
an exercise plan individualized for each
