McHenry Chiropractic Incorporates Simple Exercise for Back Pain Relief
So simple: exercise. For a person who has never exercised or leads a sedentary life, it may not be so simple. But for a person with back pain, simple exercise can be a huge help. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic would never press our McHenry back pain patients to train for a marathon, but OrthoIllinois Chiropractic gently encourages a walk to the mailbox or down the driveway! OrthoIllinois Chiropractic promotes simple exercise to our McHenry back pain patients as part of the complete McHenry chiropractic treatment plan for back pain relief.
WHY EXERCISE FOR McHenry BACK PAIN RELIEF?
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic understands that exercise (along with spinal manipulation!) contributes to the recovery of patients who have had McHenry back surgery. In one case study, a patient who had leg pain after back surgery showed 89% improvement at a 3 month follow-up after getting spinal manipulation and exercise care. (1) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic applies exercise and spinal manipulation through the Cox® Technic system to relieve McHenry back pain in sufferers after surgery and to prevent back surgery by reducing the back pain symptom generators.
HOW DOES EXERCISE HELP McHenry BACK PAIN?
Exercise is a potential treatment for McHenry low back pain, obesity and inflammation symptomatology. How? Adipose, fatty tissue releases numerous types of cytokines - pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory – which boost the inflammatory response of C-reactive protein which is associated with musculoskeletal pain sensation in back pain sufferers. What does this mean? Overweight patients tend to feel more pain. One certain inflammation marker, prostaglandin E2, produces fever and the sensation of pain and inflammation associated to low back pain. Exercise helps by controlling these issues. (2) Bottomline: McHenry back pain patients are advised to exercise, move, be active, to the degree they can. Start small. Simple stabilization exercises improved function, stopped fatigue and strengthened transverse abdominis contraction in herniated disc back pain patients. (3) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic recommends just strolling to the end of the driveway or corner then adding a bit each trip. Running races is not necessary! McHenry back pain patients see the change!
