Studies show that exercise can reduce chronic pain, but research suggests that some forms of exercise may be better than others. Wellbridge Health Center and Chiropractic in Prescott brings you these suggestions for effective pain management.

In a recent study researchers compared two exercise treatments in a group of patients with back pain. All patients improved with increased physical activity, however patients who performed core-stabilization exercises improved more compared to patients engaging in conventional exercises. The core-stabilization group experienced greater improvements in movement, pain management, and reduced their disability.

The study concluded that core stabilization is more effective for treating non-specific back pain than conventional exercise.

Lastly, another study on exercise for neck pain, yoga was better than conventional exercises for improving mobility and pain sensitivity.
