On to this week’s review…

So far in this Chronic Pain Management Updates series, we have described the importance of various lifestyle factors in the management of persistent pain, including improving beliefs, stress tolerance, and sleep. Chiropractors understand that physical activity and exercise is of vital importance to patient care, no matter the patient’s condition (with rare exceptions). This article provides a framework to integrate individually-tailored exercise therapy as part of a multimodal lifestyle approach for patients suffering from chronic pain.
