Richmond Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise
“Must I exercise?”
“Only exercise if you want to feel better quicker and prevent pain,“ your Richmond chiropractic replies.
“How long do I have to exercise each day?”
“Not long, just properly,” Johnson Chiropractic suggests.
Exercise is not every Richmond back pain or neck pain patient’s ’thing’. Johnson Chiropractic knows. Exercise is also so important to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our Richmond chiropractic patients every step of the way to get the most of the exercise effort so that it results in pain prevention and relief.
OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES
Neck pain sufferers realize how pain may decrease their neck motion. Such neck pain patients were assessed for their cervical range of motion and pain intensity with a flexion-rotation test. They were then directed to do a 20-minutes cervical spine exercise session. Half of them were then additionally treated with manual therapy applied to the C0-C1 and C2-C3 cervical spine levels. Those who did the exercise program and were treated managed significantly better in terms of range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another research project reported that the optimal stretching time of cervical muscles in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome was 30 seconds as opposed to 15 or 60 seconds or no stretching. This allowed the best benefit to pain intensity reduction while diminishing any negative effects on neural function of the involved nerve roots and central nervous system. (2) Johnson Chiropractic always emphasizes that the appropriate exercise done in proper form doesn’t have to take long to be useful! Additionally, exercise lays some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be performed whenever.
OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES
Integrating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain does make sense. Such back pain affects so many people globally and is a leading cause of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain patient to self-management. Recently, researchers proposed that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health issues in such back pain patients - were enhanced with choices like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise. (3) Johnson Chiropractic agrees! Exercise is invaluable on so many fronts.
