Exercise Improves Sleep and McHenry Back Pain
Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What links them together? Exercise! McHenry chiropractic patients come to understand that acting on this one little suggestion to exercise – even just walking! – in their McHenry chiropractic treatment plan pays off in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What’s acknowledged about the sleep and pain connection? It is known that sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain patient’s outlook on life. Experiencing McHenry back pain can be depressing if it goes on for too long (more than 12 weeks) without help as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all endorse exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned if poor sleep stops these patients from being physically active. (2) Great question! Other researchers then related that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep allows the body to rest and rejuventate for the next day’s tasks. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer tackles the next day with less than ideal capability. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic wants all McHenry chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to cope with their McHenry back pain and do what they can for McHenry back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is widely recommended to McHenry back pain sufferers in aiding their path to McHenry back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is written to be quite useful in managing sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain patients who did stabilization exercise for just 8 weeks in a row, everything improved: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people from 1 to 91 years old discovered that better sleep quality is tied to routine physical activity. This study also learned that patients over 40 years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced poorer sleep though they used more time lying down. (3) As your McHenry back pain specialist, your McHenry chiropractor takes a look at the whole McHenry back pain patient and examines any and all factors when suggesting an exercise strategy individualized for each McHenry back pain sufferer.
