McHenry Back Pain Care and Exercise Guidelines

January 31, 2024

Guidelines. There are guidelines for everything! This post talks about some of the more recent guidelines for interprofessional teamwork between chiropractors and other healthcare providers to boost the healing of McHenry back pain and neck pain sufferers. Exercises are a primary part of back pain prevention as well as management that all providers encourage and all providers worry are not always completed. Chiropractors like your own at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic are health promoters and work to do that in the nicest, most caring way! Let us work together to get you better.

GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Quality in healthcare delivery is discussed a lot. Providers and patients desire the best quality care possible in delivering care and getting care. Interprofessional collaboration rises to the top when researchers analyze systems for the care of back pain like proper use of screening and preventive services. (1) Researchers have also put together 70 quality markers for chiropractic delivery that are standardized and evidence-based that take into account patient concerns and higher clinical outcomes. (2) Physical activity certainly is a component of a quality chiropractic healthcare plan for McHenry pain relief.

BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN

In a recent survey, chiropractors conveyed that the biggest concern they held in treating back pain patients was patient follow through (coming to appointments, doing exercises, following at-home instructions, etc.). (3) In another survey, 90% of chiropractors reported that they were optimistic about healthier patient lifestyles. These chiropractors also shared that they were actively involved in promoting physical activity, recommending exercises to patients for their particular condition, inquiring how the exercises are going, and advising patients in the proper technique to do exercises as well as benefit that comes from exercising. (4) One way that patients seem to respond more positively and be more willing to do physical activity is the use of a mobile app. Such apps help oversee low back and neck pain patients when they are built around reported pain, pain intensity, and structure of the app like audio explanation and animation of each exercise. (5)  Doing the right exercises in the right way typically brings about the rightfully desired outcome.

ADD IN SOME DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING!

Core stabilization exercises are usually recommended to back pain patients. One new study that added in diaphragmatic breathing exercises noted many advantages for chronic low back pain patients: enhanced muscle activity, chest expansion, quality of sleep, enhanced disability and physical activity and pain scores, less fear avoidance, and higher physical activity, among others. (6) As a part of your healthcare team, your chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic feels a responsibility to promote physical activity so that you can manage your own health a bit more. Our younger McHenry back pain and neck pain sufferers get positive results. Our older adults who have aches and pains and/or back pain and/or neck pain get positive results, too!
