At the University of Alberta in Canada, researchers found that the response to exercise is very positive. By “regular”, they meant exercising at least four days a week.

“While it could be assumed that someone with back pain should not be exercising frequently, our findings show that working with weights four days a week provides the greatest amount of pain relief and quality of life,” according to Robert Kell, lead author of the study and an assistant professor of exercise physiology at the said university.

These findings had a big impact to the college of sports and medicine in Seattle Washington. They also gave doctors a new way of dealing with an age-old problem.

For the study, 240 men and women with chronic lower back pain were recruited. They were divided into four groups of 60. Each of the group was given a different exercise plan for the week. A fourth group didn’t exercise at all.

Researchers finished the study after 16 weeks and the group who did more exercise have had less back pain. The quality of life improved for those who went to the gym four days a week.

“The level of pain decreased by 28 percent in programs that included exercise four days a week, by 18 percent three days a week and by 14 percent two days a week. The quality of life, defined as general physical and mental well-being, rose by 28 percent, 22 percent and 16 percent respectively,” reported ScienceDaily.com.

About 80 percent of Americans suffer from back pain said chiropractors in Orange County. Many people live an unbearable and miserable life because of their pain.

If anyone knows how these people feel it is the Great Life Chiropractic Wellness in Costa Mesa and Dr. Candice McCowin. The search for a cure led her to Pettibon, now she is one of a few chiropractors in Orange County who practice this unique treatment.
