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

August 27, 2019

“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 McHenry chiropractic treatment plan at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic. And we know our McHenry chiropractic patients’ commitment to exercise waxes and wanes. We get it and keep cultivating our patients’ commitment to keep moving. We know that once you realize how good you feel with exercise as part of your daily life, you will keep it up!

EXERCISE FOR POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

For post-menopausal women it is even more important to keep exercising. In the latest|a recent 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 recover with exercise, specifically a supervised rather than a home-based exercise plan. (1) Would you agree with OrthoIllinois 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 sometimes. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic does that for our McHenry back pain patients!

EXERCISE FOR ALL BACK PAIN SUFFERERS

No matter their age, McHenry back pain patients do better with exercise. Reviewers of the exercise-for-back-pain-relief medical literature yield to the published facts and propose that patients perform exercises they like and can do easily. Research’s best-evidence on rehabilitation for chronic low back pain says that spinal manipulation and pain neuroscience education missed with exercise with or without psychological therapy is advantageous. Including the psychological component to exercise seems to give better outcomes that are more enduring. (2) It’s never a bad idea|It never hurts to get help for feelings and emotions during difficult times like experiencing back pain or neck pain. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic appreciates the opportunity to help back pain patients to receive the care they want.
