Elgin Chiropractic Care Urges Exercise for Back Pain Sufferers and Post-Menopausal Women Alike

“I’m 60/65/70/75/80 years old. Do I have to keep exercising?” You sure do! The old saying of “move it or lose it” applies! Exercise is an integral part of the Elgin chiropractic treatment plan at Connected Chiropractic. And we know our Elgin chiropractic patients’ commitment to exercise waxes and wanes. We understand and keep fostering our patients’ commitment to keep moving. We know that once you realize how amazing you feel with exercise as part of your daily life, you will keep it up!

EXERCISE FOR POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

For post-menopausal women exercise is even more valuable. In the latest|a new study of post-menopausal women with vertebral fractures, spinal pain, back extensor muscle strength, trunk-arm endurance, kyphosis, functional mobility, and quality of life all improve with exercise, particularly a supervised exercise program over a home-based one. (1) Would you agree with Connected Chiropractic that if someone is supervising your exercise, you will be more likely to exercise and more likely to do it right? We all need a little extra encouragement to do what we should at times. Connected Chiropractic does that for our Elgin back pain patients!

EXERCISE FOR ALL BACK PAIN SUFFERERS

Regardless of their age, Elgin back pain patients do better with exercise. Reviewers of the exercise-for-back-pain-relief medical literature succumb to the published evidence and suggest that patients do exercises they like and can do simply. Research’s best-evidence on therapy for chronic low back pain asserts that spinal manipulation and pain neuroscience education missed with exercise with or without psychological therapy is advantageous. Adding the psychological part to exercise seems to generate better outcomes that are more long-term. (2) It is never a bad idea|It never hurts to get help for feelings and emotions during difficult times like experiencing back pain or neck pain. Connected Chiropractic values the opportunity to direct back pain patients to get the care they want.
