August 27, 2019

“I’m 60/65/70/75/80 years old. Do I have to keep exercising?” Absolutely! The old saying of “move it or lose it” applies! Exercise is an integral part of the Richmond chiropractic treatment plan at Johnson Chiropractic. And we know our Richmond chiropractic patients wax and wane on their commitment to exercise. We get it and keep cultivating our patients’ commitment to keep moving. We are confident that once you discover how good you feel with daily exercise, you will keep it up!

EXERCISE FOR POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

For post-menopausal women exercise is even more valuable. In the latest|a new study of post-menopausal women with vertebral fractures, spinal pain, back extensor muscle strength, trunk-arm endurance, kyphosis, functional mobility, and quality of life all improve with exercise, particularly a supervised exercise program over a home-based one. (1) Would you agree with Johnson Chiropractic that if someone is supervising your exercise, you will be more likely to exercise and more likely to do it right? We all need a little extra encouragement to do what we ought to do sometimes. Johnson Chiropractic does that for our Richmond back pain patients!

EXERCISE FOR ALL BACK PAIN SUFFERERS

No matter their age, Richmond back pain patients do better with exercise. Reviewers of the exercise-for-back-pain-relief medical literature yield to the published facts and propose that patients perform exercises they like and are able to do easily. Research’s best-evidence on therapy for chronic low back pain says that spinal manipulation and pain neuroscience education missed with exercise with or without psychological therapy is useful. Adding the psychological component to exercise seems to generate better outcomes that are more long-term. (2) It’s never a bad idea|It never hurts to reach out for help with the emotional aspect of back pain and neck pain. Johnson Chiropractic appreciates the opportunity to help back pain patients to find the care they desire.
