No Exercise Often Increases Risk of More Burlington and Hamilton Pain & Disease Progression

Do something. Move. Walk. Stretch. Patients who suffer with pain benefit when they do something. No exercising is a risk for deteriorating pain, both pain in the body and pain in the mind in the form of depression. Spinal Care Clinic takes care of many Burlington and Hamilton back pain patients in pain who also suffer with depression. Spinal Care Clinic also understands that when our Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic patients do something, they get better in body and mind.

NO EXERCISE RAISES RISK OF STENOSIS PROGRESSION

Spinal stenosis is a common diagnosis. It’s the reduction of the spinal canal area as a result of degeneration. A new study revealed that risk of spinal stenosis progression is higher for those with spondylolisthesis, experienced pain (in leg and/or back) when walking, and more severe stenosis. The absence of therapeutic exercise was also discovered to a risk factor for the progression of spinal stenosis. (1) Back pain sufferers like those with spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis need exercise! Spinal Care Clinic helps each of our chiropractic patients find what exercise fits them.

EXERCISE IMPROVES FUNCTION

Nonspecific low back pain sufferers improved their functional disability status more with stabilization and/or McKenzie exercises than with conventional exercise programs. (2) Note though that exercise did help, conventional or not!

EXERCISE IMPROVES DEPRESSION

For many back pain sufferers with specific or non-specific back pain, chronic or not, may well describe themselves as a little sad when their back pain hangs around longer than desired. It is not unusual. Once more, exercise to the rescue! Another study showed that exercise (low dose or moderate-dose strength and conditioning) helped decrease depressive symptoms in adults with chronic low back pain. Blending exercise and manual therapy was a bonus! (3) Spinal Care Clinic brings in as many beneficial approaches to back pain relief as possible to help our Burlington and Hamilton back pain patients! The Cox® Technic System of Spine Pain Management is one of those approaches.
