Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What ties
them together? Exercise! La Grande chiropractic patients come to know
that following this one little recommendation to
exercise – even just walking! – in their La Grande chiropractic
treatment plan pays off in many ways.
TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What’s recognized about
the sleep and pain connection? It’s acknowledged that
sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain
patient’s state of mind. Having La Grande
back pain can be depressing if it lasts
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 exercising. (2) Good question! Other researchers then described
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 undertakes
the next day with less than optimal ability. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
desires all La Grande chiropractic care patients to be fully
ready to deal with their La Grande back pain and do what
they can for La Grande back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is commonly recommended
to La Grande back pain sufferers to help them find La Grande back pain
relief. Stabilization exercise is reported
to be quite valuable in the management of
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 only 8
weeks in a row, everything improved: sleep
quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of
1645 people aged 1 to 91 years discovered
that better sleep quality is tied to routine
physical activity. This study also found that patients over 40
years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes had
poorer sleep and yet they spent more time lying down. (3) As your La Grande back pain specialist, your La Grande chiropractor considers the whole La Grande back
pain patient and studies any and all factors when recommending
an exercise plan personalized for each
La Grande back pain sufferer.
