Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Orchard Park, NY Back Pain Relief

Low back pain in older women requires some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Orchard Park, NY chiropractor at Novelli Wellness Center give it! Women who suffer back pain are a special subset of our chiropractic practice with whom we love to work!

OLDER WOMEN AND Orchard Park, NY BACK PAIN

A recent report shared that low back pain in older women is linked to abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women included in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What ties these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers described that muscle weakness directly linked low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise enhanced these factors. (1) Novelli Wellness Center  witnesses over and over the benefit of exercise for our Orchard Park, NY back pain patients.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF

Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients with back pain seek pain relief. That is the aim of care. Our patients often try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating sever patients need to be treated for one patient to report benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A recent study reported that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain reduction as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat statistics. Which works over time though? Exercise. The researchers explained that the only intervention that showed sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We share this to foster the practice of exercise for all our Orchard Park, NY back pain (and neck pain) patients. For purposes of this article about women with low back pain, Novelli Wellness Center urges our older women patients to exercise. It’s part of the chiropractic treatment plan that involves simple exercises as the starting point!
