EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a burden for the low back pain
sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare
providers and researchers investigate proposed
long-term methods to decrease this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise tops the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations along with manual therapy and
massage. (1) Hollstrom & Associates Inc

BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Many chronic back pain sufferers find themselves going to their primary care practitioners
first. it is a pretty normal experience. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care usually
involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research,
there is an interesting statistic called “number to treat”
which denotes the number of patients with a certain
condition who need to have it done the treatment
recommendation for 1 of the treatment recipients to report
benefit. In this recent study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low
back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs
10. Of these three options, exercise was the only intervention that demonstrated
continued chronic low back pain relief after the intervention
ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a useful,
self-management, non-drug option for chronic low back pain
patients. Hollstrom & Associates Inc always includes it in the
Largo chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some
control of chronic low back pain in our Largo chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
An additional advantageous patient-controlled
option is the sleep and exercise option.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is an issue for so many
Largo chiropractic patients. Hollstrom & Associates Inc often hears our
patients talk about sleep difficulties. Sleep is renewing
for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes prescribed to
address sleep and mood issues. An interesting study about
the relationship between sleep and exercise highlights some interesting
findings in young women and men. There
are differences for each! Men who exercised more often
reported falling asleep faster, less daytime issues,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went
to bed early, experienced improved sleep
quality, and reported more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is key for so many issues!
