If you would just do it…exercise, that is…you’d boost your
opportunity for relief of chronic lower back pain!
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows the huge benefit to
back pain patients
who do their exercises. It’s documented over and over in the spine care
literature. The positive clinical outcomes are evident each time an exercising
patient walks through our Montreal chiropractic door! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic encourages Montreal
back pain patients, especially our
chronic lower back pain patients, to do some
simple exercises that don’t take long. Along with the
chiropractic services you
receive at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic, exercise enhances the benefits. So here are a
couple more recent exercise reports we just have to share.
One, chronic lower back pain patients in Montreal
and beyond benefit greatly when they just do their recommended exercises! A new
study found that sticking to an exercise program doubled a chronic lower back
pain patient’s chance of relief. The functional improvement is noted as
significant at discharge and at one year follow-up. Interestingly yet not unexpectedly,
younger age and good mental health contribute to the good response at one year.
(1) So not to nag, but are you doing your exercises?
Two, an 11 year follow-up study reports no difference in chronic
lower back pain patient-reported outcomes between surgical fusion and
multidisciplinary cognitive-behavioral and exercise programs. The researchers
question why a spine care organization with such surgical and non-surgical
options would choose surgery for chronic lower back pain. (Montreal chronic lower back pain patients might wonder the same.) Surgery comes with risks and is necessary for a few, and non-operative outcomes last! (2)
So are you inspired to exercise now?
Bottomline: If you are doing your exercises and not finding
benefit, talk with Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic. Let’s do the exercises together to be sure
you are doing them correctly and make modifications as needed. If you aren’t
doing your exercises, let’s address your resistance. If it’s fear of hurting
yourself or not wanting to do them, your most understanding Montreal chiropractor
will listen and gently coax you to try.
