TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN

What’s acknowledged about the sleep and pain connection? It’s acknowledged that sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain patient’s outlook on life. Experiencing West Palm Beach back pain can be disheartening if it continues for too long (more than 12 weeks) without relief as is the case in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all endorse exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned if poor sleep stops these patients from being physically active. (2) Great question! Other researchers then described that such a disruption to sleep is related to physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and rejuventate for the next day’s tasks. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer attempts the next day with less than optimal ability.

WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN

Exercise is commonly suggested to West Palm Beach back pain sufferers to help them find West Palm Beach back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is stated to be quite useful in the management of sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain patients who did stabilization exercise for only 8 weeks straight, everything improved: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people from 1 to 91 years old found that better sleep quality is linked to habitual physical activity. This study also learned that patients over 40 years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes had poorer sleep and yet they spent more time lying down.
