Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Fort Wayne Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women demands some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Fort Wayne chiropractor at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc give it! Women who suffer back pain are a special group of our chiropractic practice with whom we love to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Fort Wayne 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 explained that muscle weakness clearly tied low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise enhanced these factors.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients with back pain seek pain relief. That’s the goal of care. Our patients often try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 meaning sever patients need to be treated for one patient to report benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study reported that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain reduction as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works in the long run though? Exercise. The researchers explained that the one 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 Fort Wayne back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused on women with low back pain, Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc encourages our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It’s central to the chiropractic treatment plan that includes simple exercises as the starting point!
