TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What is acknowledged about
the sleep and pain connection? It’s acknowledged that
sleep disturbance and depression influence the back pain
patient’s state of mind. Having Buffalo, NY
back pain can be disheartening 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 recommend
exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers wondered
if poor sleep prevents these patients from being
physically active. (2) Great question! Other researchers then related
that such a disruption to sleep is associated with physical
inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and
rejuventate for the next day’s tasks. Without

Exercise is widely recommended
to Buffalo, NY back pain sufferers to help them find Buffalo, NY back pain

to be quite valuable in managing

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 got better: 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 routine
physical activity. This study also found that patients over 40
years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced
poorer sleep and yet they used more time lying down. (3) As your Buffalo, NY back pain specialist, your Buffalo, NY chiropractor considers the whole Buffalo, NY back
