WHY EXERCISE FOR Ashburn BACK PAIN RELIEF?

Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows that exercise (along with spinal manipulation!) contributes to the recovery of patients who have gone through Ashburn back surgery. In one report, a patient who had leg pain after back surgery showed 89% improvement at a 3 month follow-up after receiving spinal manipulation and exercise care. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn makes use of exercise and spinal manipulation via the Cox® Technic system to ease Ashburn back pain in sufferers after surgery and to prevent back surgery by reducing the back pain symptom generators.

HOW DOES EXERCISE HELP Ashburn BACK PAIN?

Exercise is a potential treatment for Ashburn low back pain, obesity and inflammation symptomatology. How? Adipose, fatty tissue lets go of numerous types of cytokines - pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory – which enhance the inflammatory response of C-reactive protein which is associated with musculoskeletal pain feeling in back pain sufferers. What does this mean? Overweight patients are more likely to feel more pain. One particular inflammation marker, prostaglandin E2, causes fever and the feeling of pain and inflammation related to low back pain.  Exercise helps by controlling these issues. (2) Bottomline: Ashburn back pain patients would do well to exercise, move, be active, to the extent they can. Start small. Simple stabilization exercises improved function, inhibited fatigue and improved transverse abdominis contraction in herniated disc back pain patients. (3)  Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn suggests to start by just taking a walk to the end of the driveway or corner then adding a little each trip. Running races is not required! Ashburn back pain patients see the difference!
