Exercise Improves Sleep and Largo Back Pain
Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What links them together? Exercise! Largo chiropractic patients come to know that acting on this one little suggestion to exercise – even just walking! – in their Largo chiropractic treatment plan benefits in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What’s acknowledged about the sleep and pain connection? It’s known that sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain patient’s state of mind. Having Largo back pain can be depressing if it goes on for too long (more than 12 weeks) without relief as is the case in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all endorse exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned if poor sleep stops these patients from being physically active. (2) Great question! Other researchers then reported that such a disruption to sleep is associated with physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and regenerate for the next day’s adventures. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer attempts the next day with less than ideal ability. Hollstrom & Associates Inc wants all Largo chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to deal with their Largo back pain and do what they can for Largo back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is commonly suggested to Largo back pain sufferers in aiding their path to Largo back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is stated to be very valuable in the management of sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain patients who performed stabilization exercise for just 8 weeks in a row, everything got better: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people from 1 to 91 years old discovered that better sleep quality is linked to routine physical activity. This study also learned that patients over 40 years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced poorer sleep and yet they spent more time lying down. (3) As your Largo back pain specialist, your Largo chiropractor considers the whole Largo back pain patient and studies any and all factors when suggesting an exercise strategy individualized for each Largo back pain sufferer.
