TENS units such as the TENS 7000 are one of, if not the best way to relieve low back pain, but researchers have found that exercise is a perfectly comparable method of preventing repeated lower back pain in the year following an episode. A review of 21 studies involving more than 30,000 subjects – published in JAMA Internal Medicine – found that any kind of exercise (core strengthening, aerobic exercise, or flexibility and stretching) decreased the risk of a new episode of low back pain between 25% and 40%. Lower back pain is “a universal experience. You’d be a really uncommon person never to have had an episode of back pain,” physical therapist, health researcher at the University of Sydney in Australia, and lead researchers Chris Maher said. “It’s a common problem across the whole of the globe,” he says, whether it’s North America, sub-Saharan Africa or rural India.” – See more at: https://go-telehealth.com
