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 beneficial to reduce pain and improve activity in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking was suggested to be a valuable combination for CLBP patients. (1) In an analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials, yoga was said to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve functional disability from short to long term compared to non-exercise, usual care, and education. But it had the same effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy. (2) Most everyone can walk. Some like physical therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they want. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office understands that not every exercise option may be our Groton back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options are key to participation...and Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One set of researchers wrote that present evidence does not propose that any one form of exercise is superior to any other for back pain relief. That’s interesting! They did state that exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP, a major health and socioeconomic issue (cost, disability, missed work). The most common type of exercise for back pain relief was reported as motor control exercise working on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not superior to other types 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) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office talks with each Groton back pain sufferer to learn about what exercise will work and will be performed. That is the most important factor!
