sufferers look forward to getting their lives back. New Roads Chiropractic Center
has a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do just

spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic as well as gentle
exercise and nutrition. Some new
insights about effective exercise interventions are shared here
for our New Roads back pain patients’ consideration as it’s
for you to decide to select what exercise suits you!
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 was
found to be 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 effective
for pain and activity limitation improvement
in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking
was proposed as a beneficial combination
for CLBP patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga was reported
to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term when compared with
non-exercise, usual care, and education. However it had equal
effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some like physical
therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they so desire.
New Roads Chiropractic Center knows not every exercise option may be
our New Roads back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are key to participation...and New Roads Chiropractic Center has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One set of researchers wrote that up-to-date
evidence doesn’t indicate that any one
type of exercise is better than any other for back
pain relief. That is interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP,
a substantial health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common type of exercise for back pain relief was reported to be motor control exercise working
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not
superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an alternative for chronic low back pain patients among
other forms of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what
works. (3) New Roads Chiropractic Center chats with each New Roads back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
performed. That’s the key!
