Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with St Peters Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women demands some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill Chiropractic give it! Women who suffer back pain are a special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we love to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND St Peters BACK PAIN
A recent report shared that low back pain in older women stems from abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women included in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these issues together? Muscle. Researchers explained that muscle weakness clearly linked low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise improved these factors.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
St Peters chiropractic patients with back pain desire pain relief. That’s the goal of care. Our patients frequently try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating 7 patients need to be treated for one patient to report benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study found that these options many times deliver clinically meaningful pain reduction as shown by the above number-needed-to-treat statistics. Which works over time though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the one intervention that showed sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period ended was exercise. (2) We share this to foster the practice of exercise for all our St Peters back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused on women with low back pain, Old Mill Chiropractic encourages our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It’s part of the chiropractic treatment plan that includes simple exercises as the beginning point!
