La Grande Walking is Good for You and Your Back!
Just walk. That it all. Walk a little today. Just walk the extent that you can. If walking just 3 minutes is all for you, great! Walk 5 minutes next time. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll feel better, your back will feel better, your outlook will be better. Walking is a popular recommendation at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC for our La Grande chiropractic patients suffering with low back pain as well as those La Grande chiropractic patients who have other issues, too. Walking is a simple, inexpensive, valuable activity for La Grande chiropractic patients while Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC recognizes that walking may be an activity some La Grande chiropractic patients may find overwhelming when they are hurting. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC appreciates that and will be with you as you begin walking.
WALKING VERSUS OTHER EXERCISE
In a recent analysis of five randomized clinical controlled trials, researchers write that walking may be deemed an alternative to other physical activity exercise. Walking improves pain, disability and fear-avoidance in chronic low back pain patients. (Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC recognizes that some La Grande chiropractic patients fear movement like walking as they are anxious about their back pain may be aggravated. La Grande low back pain patients will avoid exercise, avoid walking, avoid moving for fear of pain. If this sounds like you, please talk with your La Grande chiropractor at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC.) An added bonus: walking is inexpensive.

Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC has seen the benefit of walking for many La Grande back pain patients and their La Grande back pain relief and prevention program.
