(2) The proper type of exercise is important, so we will discuss what is suitable for you! Maybe Pilates would be your “thing”. A study of chronic musculoskeletal pain patients who undertook a Pilates-based exercise program found that the pain patients better functioned and managed their pain condition more autonomously and effectively. They did better at work, took pleasure in hobbies more, were inspired to keep exercising, did more to manage their own pain conditions independently. These, in turn, helped them experience a healthier way of life. (3) These benefits came without back surgery.

EXERCISE BEFORE BACK SURGERY

Researchers established a trial of exercise for back pain patients headed to back surgery. They explained the back pain condition to the patients carefully. They set up exercise programs for each patient to do. They found that back pain patients who experienced this pre-surgery program of description and exercise benefitted in several ways: The back pain sufferers felt better exercising than being inactive while waiting for surgery. The back pain sufferers’ frame of mind improved as they exercised. They had time to contemplate their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who didn’t report symptom improvement responded well to this program as they felt more confident in being able to do some self-management of their pain. (4) These are all beneficial outcomes Millville back pain patients find in their chiropractic care at Wilson Family Chiropractic. Control not cure is a realistic goal when dealing with back pain.
