EXERCISE CLASS BENEFITS ARTHRITIS

EXERCISE CLASS BENEFITS ARTHRITIS evaluates the benefits of a structured execise programme in patients with osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis.

Peter Oesch, the Swiss chairman of the allied health professionals (European League against Rheumatism) commented on two reports considering the benefits of structured exercise programmes in patients with OA and RA. A meta-analysis of 30 randomised, controlled programmes revealed significant imporvements in pain and physical function in patients with knee arthritis.

Studies involving more than 12 supervised sessions proved more effective than those with less than 12 sessions, but both were effective.

There was no difference whether the contact was on a one-to-one basis or in a class session.

Programs that produced a heart rate of at least 55% of maximum done for at least 20 minutes per week for at least six weeks improved aerobic capacity and muscle strength. Functional ability improved over the long term and there were no deleterious effects.

Exercise can also help the leg pain in pregnancy, a common complaint in the chiropractic practice.

    Fibromyalgia and exercise.

    In a randomized trial (2008) at the Radboud University, Netherlands, 216 fibromyalgia patients were divided into two groups.

    1. Group 1 was treated according to 'usual-care' control group.

    2. Group 2 was treated for two months in a twice weekly (3 hours each) of

      • pool exercise

      • aerobics

      • relaxation therapy

      • psychotherapy

    Group 2 showed a 85% reduction in pain, fatigue, functional disability and anxiety.

    After 6 months (4 months after the program ended), 57% of Group 2 (vs 29% of the control Group 1) maintained a clinically significant improvement.

    Conclusion: Exercise Class Benefits Arthritis and Fibromyalgia.

    SACROILIAC JOINT INFLAMMATION

    It was a Swiss chiropractor Dr Fred Illi who first is credited with establishing that the sacroiliac joint is a freely movable joint. Much contrary to medical opinion of the time (in the 1940's) which considered it an immovable joint and incapable of causing low back pain.

    New medical research now confirms that sacroiliac joint inflammation is probably the cause of about 30% of lower lumbar back pain.

    At Chiropractic Help we strongly advocate mobilising and adjusting the fixated sacroiliac joint when it becomes stuck, it may well be the cause of your leg pain during pregnancy, and not waiting for that dreaded inflammation to set in. Other research confirms that fixated joints become arthritic joints (called Immobilisation Arthritis). An exercise class benefits arthritis too of course. Hyaline cartilage starved of nutrients first causes pain. If you don't listen, then irreverible degenerative arthritis sets in. Pain is believe it or not your friend. It's trying to tell you something, and just turning it off, or ignoring it, is very silly ...

    From Chiropractic Tips you'll get some simple exercises to mobilise your sacroiliac joint. If they don't loosen it up, then see your chiropractor. Not in six months' time!
