<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Your
neuro-musculoskeletal system is an amazing feat of engineering. Your
spine alone contains bones, joints, nerves, muscles, arteries and veins
that work in coordination to help you walk, run, jump, throw, lift,
stretch and more. Although these components are incredibly tough,
they’re also susceptible to injury and general wear-and-tear. This is
especially true if you spend the majority of your time on your feet, or
you work a physically demanding job.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you experience back pain, you might think the best course of
action is to rest and take it easy. And while that may be the case in
some instances, exercise is actually more effective. Regular exercise
encourages circulation throughout your body, which can reduce
inflammation and swelling. It also encourages the release of endorphins
or “feel good” chemicals. Endorphins affect the way your brain responds
to pain signals, which also provides relief.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But how do you know what type of exercise is right for your body?
After all, if you’re experiencing pain, you don’t want to do anything
that will make it worse or trigger further problems. Fortunately, there
are several spine-friendly exercises that are safe and low-impact.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Biking.</b> Riding a bike allows you to stay completely stationary. The
only part of your body that does any work are your legs and feet. While
riding, make sure to maintain good posture and always wear a helmet. If
your pain gets worse, stop immediately and make an appointment with your
doctor of chiropractic.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Swimming.</b> Swimming is another low-impact exercise that can support
spine health. When you’re in the water, there’s less pressure placed on
your joints. Additionally, swimming builds endurance, muscle strength
and heart health. There’s no risk of slipping and falling, and if you
get too tired you can always take a break.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Yoga.</b> Yoga is much more than an opportunity to meditate or center
yourself. It also can strengthen your core muscles while encouraging
flexibility and your range-of-motion. Combined with chiropractic care,
yoga can also promote good posture and better neuro-musculoskeletal
health as a whole.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">Study Provides The Strongest Evidence To-Date That Chiropractic Care Is Safe, Effective & Can Be Integrated...</span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>A new study finds the addition of chiropractic care to usual
medical care provides greater relief for low-back pain than usual
medical care alone.</b><br />
<br />
A new study led by investigators at the <a href="http://www.palmer.edu/research/">Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research</a>, in conjunction with the <a href="https://www.rand.org/">RAND Corporation</a> and the <a href="http://www.samueliinstitute.org/">Samueli Institute</a>, found that <b>patients
suffering from low-back pain who received chiropractic care in addition
to usual medical care had better short-term improvements in low-back
pain intensity and pain-related disability</b> when compared to those who received usual medical care alone.<br />
<br />
Results of this groundbreaking research were released today in the
inaugural edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association’s
online <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2680417"><i>JAMA Network Open</i></a>. The study – <b>the largest randomized clinical trial in chiropractic research in the U.S. to-date</b>
– took place from September 2012 to February 2016 and involved 750
active-duty U.S. military personnel at three sites across the country.<br />
<br />
<b>Low-back pain is the leading cause of physical disability worldwide.</b>
The prevalence of low-back pain among U.S. adults is estimated at 20
percent, with 50 to 80 percent of people reporting a significant episode
at some point in their life. Low-back pain is also one of the most
common causes of disability in U.S. military personnel.<br />
<br />
“This patient-centered, multi-site, pragmatic clinical <b>trial provides the strongest evidence to-date that chiropractic care is safe, effective and can be integrated</b>
into multidisciplinary health-care settings,” said Christine Goertz,
D.C., Ph.D., lead author of the study. “These findings are critical as
the United States health-care system looks for ways to implement
existing national guidelines from groups such as the <a href="https://www.acponline.org/acp-newsroom/american-college-of-physicians-issues-guideline-for-treating-nonradicular-low-back-pain">American College of Physicians</a> and the <a href="https://www.jointcommission.org/assets/1/23/jconline_November_12_14.pdf">Joint Commission</a> that recommend non-drug treatments, such as spinal manipulative therapy, as the first line of treatment for low-back pain.”</div>
