Ashburn Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise

“Must I exercise?”

“Only exercise if you want to feel better faster and prevent pain,“ your Ashburn chiropractic replies.

“How much time do I have to spend exercising each day?”

“Not long, just properly,” Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn suggests.

Exercise is not every Ashburn back pain or neck pain patient’s ‘cup of tea’. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows. Exercise is also so key to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our Ashburn chiropractic patients every step of the way to get the most of the exercise effort so that it pays off in pain prevention and relief.

OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Neck pain sufferers realize how pain may reduce their neck motion. Such neck pain patients were assessed 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 did the exercise program and were treated managed significantly better in terms of range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another research project reported 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 permitted the best benefit to pain intensity decrease while diminishing any adverse effects on neural function of the involved nerve roots and central nervous system. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn always highlights that the appropriate exercise done in proper form doesn’t have to take long to be effective! Plus, exercise places some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be performed whenever.

OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Incorporating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain does make sense. Such back pain involves so many people worldwide and is a primary cause of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain patient to self-management. Recently, researchers proposed that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health struggles in such back pain patients - were enhanced with choices like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise. (3) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn agrees! Exercise is invaluable on so many fronts.
