Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What ties
them together? Exercise! Malverne chiropractic patients come to realize
that following this one little suggestion to
exercise – even just walking! – in their Malverne chiropractic
treatment plan pays off in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What is known about
the sleep and pain connection? It’s acknowledged that
sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain
patient’s state of mind. Having Malverne
back pain can be disheartening if it continues
for too long (more than 12 weeks) without help as seen 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 exercising. (2) Great question! Other researchers then related
that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical
inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep allows the body to rest and
rejuventate for the next day’s tasks. Without
sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer attempts
the next day with less than ideal capability. Malverne Health & Wellness
wants all Malverne chiropractic care patients to be fully
ready to cope with their Malverne back pain and do what
they can for Malverne back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is commonly recommended
to Malverne back pain sufferers to help them find Malverne back pain
relief. Stabilization exercise is reported
to be quite valuable in managing
sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic
low back pain patients. In a review of 26 chronic back pain
patients who did stabilization exercise for just 8
weeks straight, everything improved: sleep
quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of
1645 people from 1 to 91 years old found
that better sleep quality is tied to habitual
physical activity. This study also found that patients over 40
years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced
poorer sleep though they used more time lying down. (3) As your Malverne back pain specialist, your Malverne chiropractor takes a look at the whole Malverne back
pain patient and examines any and all factors when suggesting
an exercise plan personalized for each
Malverne back pain sufferer.
