McHenry Walking is Good for You and Your Back!
Just walk. That’s all. Walk a bit today. Just walk as far as you can. If you can only walk 3 minutes, awesome! Walk 5 minutes the next day. You will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you’ll feel better, your back will feel better, your outlook will be better. Walking is a customary recommendation at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic for our McHenry chiropractic patients suffering with low back pain as well as those McHenry chiropractic patients who have other issues, too. Walking is an unfussy, cheap, effective activity for McHenry chiropractic patients while OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is aware that walking may be an activity some McHenry chiropractic patients may find intimidating when they are in pain. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic gets it and will be with you as you begin walking.
WALKING VERSUS OTHER EXERCISE
In a recent analysis of five randomized clinical controlled trials, researchers report that walking may be considered an alternative to other physical activity exercise. Walking makes better pain, disability and fear-avoidance in chronic low back pain patients. (OrthoIllinois Chiropractic recognizes that some McHenry chiropractic patients fear movement like walking as they are worried that their back pain might be aggravated. McHenry low back pain patients will avoid exercise, avoid walking, avoid moving for fear of pain. If this sounds like you, please have a conversation with your McHenry chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic.) Plus walking is inexpensive. (1) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic will review with you about how walking may benefit your McHenry back pain relief treatment plan and how you feel about adding walking to your McHenry lifestyle.
WALKING VERSUS NON-DRUG INTERVENTIONS
Another recent research paper discloses that walking was as successful as other non-pharmacological interventions for patient relief and disability decreases for patients with chronic low back pain in short (up to 3 months) and intermediate term (3 to 12 months) follow up. (2) McHenry walking is beneficial for low back pain patients. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic has witnessed the advantage of walking for many McHenry back pain patients and their McHenry back pain relief and prevention program.
