Exercise Improves Sleep and Malverne Back Pain

Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What links 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 learned 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 strategy personalized for each Malverne back pain sufferer.
