What's Your Exercise "Thing" That You'll Do?
What’s your exercise “thing”? Is “Do this.” or “Which do you prefer?” more appealing to you? We all like choices! We all have favorites. Your McHenry chiropractor is up for offering you options when it comes to exercise. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic just hopes you exercise. You decide how! When you get to pick, the results are better in terms of satisfaction and pain relief. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic's chiropractic care is all about you and your McHenry back pain relief.
EXERCISE FOR SATISFACTION
Adding spinal manipulation and/or supervised rehabilitation exercise to home exercise alone for older adults suffering with chronic low back pain improves their satisfaction with care. (1) Could this result from having a professional check on you and your healing occasionally? If you are doing home exercise all by yourself, you don’t get the benefit of someone being concerned about you, checking on your progress objectively, confirming that you are improving. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is here for our McHenry chronic low back pain patients with spinal manipulation, exercise guidance and objective encouragement. Chronic low back pain is tough to deal with. It often limits what you can do. It tends to also diminish your quality and enjoyment of life.
DO WHAT YOU WANT
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic wishes our McHenry back pain patients to perform what they want and enjoy what they do. Exercise is essential. Doing a form of exercise that a back pain patient prefers boosts the chance that he or she will exercise. What do you enjoy doing? A recent study of older adults – 65 to 85 years – assessed the effectiveness of Pilates exercise to aerobic exercise on a treadmill for chronic low back pain. The study suggests that either will decrease pain and increase balance and function and that Pilates may be more successful as its exercises are directed at the trunk stabilization muscles. Either way, matching patient preference to an exercise program is the goal to boost patient care satisfaction, pain reduction and quality of life. (2)
