and neck pain sufferers to walk. Walking is easy and valuable in managing pain. Walks don’t have be crazy

BACK PAIN’S DAILY IMPACT
$200 billion dollars a year fund
back pain management. Back pain is a top and widespread
cause of medical care visits to primary care and emergency settings.
Back pain is the most common reason for worker compensation,
missed work hours, and lost productivity. 90% of back pain is
mechanical. 12 to 33% of people are stated to experience
back pain at any point in time, making back pain a main focus
of medical care and of sufferers’ attention and inattention to the day-to-day
workings of life. (1) Back pain is costly and quality
of life altering for many.
SPINAL STENOSIS AND WALKING
Walking is a such a day-to-day requirement. One
recent study described that back and neck pain were
positively and significantly associated with workplace absenteeism mostly triggered
by difficulty standing, sitting, and walking. (2) Walking is a vital
daily function! Back pain sufferers headed to surgery will do well to improve
their walking capacity before surgery. The greater the walking capacity
before surgery. The better the walking capacity after
surgery. Lumbar spinal stenosis as a core issue for back
pain reduces walking and quality of life for its sufferers.
Lumbar spinal stenosis is the main sign for spinal
surgery in older adults, 40% of whom, even after back surgery, still
reported walking disability. (3) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC encourages
walking for everyone!
WALK IN A PARK!
Exercise like walking is a simple, easy
way to allay La Grande back pain. Walking in a park may be enticing.
Well-designed parks are described to improve
public health. An interview study of peoples’ opinions of what makes parks inviting reported that trees, gardens,
open spaces, and water features were highly cherished.
Walking/bike trails, basketball hoops, sports/climbing walls were stated as physical activity encouraging. Seating, tables, and picnic
areas were noted as necessary for social
interaction. (4)
