Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise a few years ago. Speed may have been a goal at one
time. Distance may have been the aim. Today, walking 90
minutes a week is a worthy target
for back pain sufferers seeking Brooks back pain relief. Soft Health and Healing Clinic
suggests walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for
peak walking ability and back pain relief.
EXERCISE FOR Brooks BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise is usually recommended
to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented
as being effective for low back pain relief.
But what about walking? Soft Health and Healing Clinic
encourages Brooks back pain patients to not tag on
the word “just” ahead of “walking”! Walking itself is an amazingly healing activity. Walking is basic
to everyday life. Walking is one thing so many of us
undervalue until we can not
walk or something like back pain stops us from walking like we once
did. A new research report corroborates
this: Walking more than ninety minutes a
week was related to a lesser risk of self-reported
low back pain in adults over 50 years of age.
90 minutes is not much; regular walking for 30 minutes daily
three days a week is optimal. (1) Soft Health and Healing Clinic suggests
that our Brooks chiropractic patients walk.
CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING
Seeing a licensed chiropractor improves
walking distance. A new research report found
that an all-inclusive non-surgical
training which included an exercise program guided
by a chiropractor improved back and lower extremity fitness and
lumbar spine flexibility, decreased pain and increased
walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis patients. (2) That’s significant! Soft Health and Healing Clinic uses gentle Cox®
Technic spinal manipulation and promotes walking 30 minutes
three times a week. Being
able to walk any distance for a half hour is valuable!

treatment.
