Staying physically active is one of the few ways to reliably prevent or significantly improve some common pain conditions, including low back pain, arthritis, and even migraine headache. Chronic pain conditions tend to start a vicious cycle: You have a painful condition, exercise makes it hurt more, you stop exercising, your pain increases, and you continue to avoid exercise, we all have heard this excuse before.
Staying physically active can help prevent that cycle and using that excuse from ever happening. Muscles that are supple and stretched out by exercise are less prone to injury and keep joints healthier. Physical activity also improves stamina, muscle endurance, and cardiovascular health, which may ease pain that occurs when a lack of oxygen causes tissue damage. And physical activity combats obesity, which is a risk factor for osteoarthritis of the knee or joint. In addition, a small German study published several years ago suggested that people with migraine headaches tend to be less physically fit than people who don’t suffer migraines, although the headaches may explain why they are not physically fit rather than vice versa. The type of exercise you choose to do on a regular basis in order to stay fit is really up to you. As long as you continue to move consistently for 30 minutes a day.
