La Grande Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise
“Must I exercise?”
“Only exercise if you want to feel better quicker and prevent pain,“ your La Grande chiropractic encourages.
“How long do I have to exercise every day?”
“Not long, just effectively,” Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC suggests.
Exercise is not every La Grande back pain or neck pain patient’s ‘cup of tea’. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC knows. Exercise is also so vital to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our La Grande chiropractic patients all along the way to get the most of the exercise effort so that it results in pain relief and prevention.
OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES
Neck pain sufferers know how pain may reduce their ability to look around comfortably. Such neck pain patients were tested as to their cervical range of motion and pain intensity with a flexion-rotation test. They were then instructed to do a 20-minutes cervical spine exercise session. Half of them were then additionally treated with manual therapy applied to the C0-C1 and C2-C3 cervical spine levels. Those who performed the exercise program and were treated benefitted significantly better as far as range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another research project found that the optimal stretching time of cervical muscles in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome was 30 seconds as contrasted with 15 or 60 seconds or no stretching. This allowed the best benefit to pain intensity reduction while diminishing any negative effects on neural function of the affected nerve roots and central nervous system. (2) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC always emphasizes that the appropriate exercise done in the right way doesn’t have to take long to be effective! Additionally, exercise lays some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be performed anytime.
OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES
Integrating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain makes sense. This type of back pain affects so many people globally and is a foremost source of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain patient to self-management. Recently, researchers posed that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health struggles in such back pain patients - were improved with options like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise. (3) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC agrees! Exercise is valuable on so many fronts.
