GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Quality in healthcare delivery is talked about so much. Providers and patients want the best quality care possible in delivering care and receiving care. Interprofessional collaboration is on the top of the list when researchers assess systems for the care of back pain like suitable use of screening and preventive services. (1) Researchers have also assembled 70 quality values for chiropractic delivery that are standardized and evidence-based that take into consideration patient concerns and higher clinical outcomes. (2) Physical activity surely is a part of a quality chiropractic healthcare plan for La Grande pain relief.

BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN

In a recent survey, chiropractors conveyed that the biggest concern they held in treating back pain patients was patient follow through (making appointments, doing exercises, following at-home instructions, etc.). (3) In another survey, 90% of chiropractors stated that they were optimistic about healthier patient lifestyles. These chiropractors also reported that they were actively engaged in promoting physical activity, suggesting exercises to patients for their particular condition, inquiring how the exercises are going, and counseling patients in the proper manner to do exercises as well as value of doing exercises. (4) One way that patients seem to respond more positively and be more willing to do physical activity is using a mobile application. Such apps help oversee low back and neck pain patients when they are built around reported pain, pain intensity, and structure of the app like audio explanation and animation of each exercise. (5)  Doing the right exercises in the right way is the most effective.

ADD IN SOME DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING!

Core stabilization exercises are commonly recommended to back pain patients. A new study that added in diaphragmatic breathing exercises found many advantages for chronic low back pain patients: enhanced muscle activity, chest expansion, quality of sleep, improved disability and physical activity and pain scores, reduced fear avoidance, and increased physical activity, and more. (6) As a part of your healthcare team, your chiropractor at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC feels a responsibility to encourage physical activity so that you can take care of you.
