Yes, another study emphasizing the usefulness of exercise.
Now before you start rolling your eyes, we’re not recommending anything too
physical! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation encourages an active (or at least the development of
a more active!) lifestyle. It’s not that hard to do in Carrolltown. Simple
walking is a great start. It’s beneficial to low back pain patients and those
suffering with peripheral artery disease. Exercise is beneficial; walking is
simple. So Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation says “walk”!
First, walk for relief of peripheral artery disease
symptomatology. For those with peripheral artery disease (with and without
intermittent claudication), walking works. How much is necessary?
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation says start where you are (after we talk at your next
Carrolltown chiropractic visit!). Making regular walking a part of your
daily routine of life is terrific. And if you would walk “intensively,” even
better! (1) Carrolltown offers some nice places to walk inside and out.
Take advantage! Your peripheral artery disease will thank you! Plus, 1200
patients in 18 trials can’t be wrong! It’s reported that intensive walking
exercise by patients with peripheral artery disease improves significantly the maximal walking
distance, pain-free walking distance, and 6-minute walking distance. The results in peripheral artery disease patients with diabetes
wasn’t as exciting, but improvement was noted. Carrolltown diabetic
patients know exercise is good for their overall health!
(Side study: Being part of a walking support group helps peripheral
artery disease patients keep walking, improves functionality, and prevents mobility
loss. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is here to be your support group!)
Second, walk for low back pain relief. Walking exercise for
back pain relief may not relieve pain in the way you think. New research points
to walking’s effect on regulating the inflammatory cytokines (chemicals that form in joints and muscles) and counteracting the oxidative stress that
accompanies back pain. (3) Fascinating! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation loves the fact that
this research is looking beyond just the physicality of walking to relieve
pain. There is so much more!
Back pain, peripheral artery disease and even
diabetes are common conditions walking through the door at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation.
