Exercise Improves Sleep and St Peters Back Pain
Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What links them together? Exercise! St Peters chiropractic patients come to understand that following this one little recommendation to exercise – even just walking! – in their St Peters chiropractic treatment plan benefits in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What is recognized about the sleep and pain connection? It’s known that sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain patient’s outlook on life. Experiencing St Peters back pain can be disheartening if it goes on for too long (more than 12 weeks) without respite as is the case in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all endorse exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers wondered if poor sleep stops these patients from being physically active. (2) Good question! Other researchers then described that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and rejuventate for the next day’s tasks. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer undertakes the next day with less than optimal capability. Old Mill Chiropractic desires all St Peters chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to deal with their St Peters back pain and do what they can for St Peters back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is widely suggested to St Peters back pain sufferers to help them find St Peters back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is stated to be very useful in the management of sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain patients who did stabilization exercise for just 8 weeks straight, everything got better: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people from 1 to 91 years old discovered that better sleep quality is linked to habitual physical activity. This study also learned that patients over 40 years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes had poorer sleep and yet they used more time lying down. (3) As your St Peters back pain specialist, your St Peters chiropractor considers the whole St Peters back pain patient and studies any and all factors when suggesting an exercise strategy personalized for each St Peters back pain sufferer.
