Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts life for its sufferers. Largo chronic low back pain
sufferers want their lives back. Hollstrom & Associates Inc
has a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do just
that. The treatment plan often includes chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic together with gentle
exercise and nutrition. A couple recent
insights about effective exercise interventions are shared here
for our Largo back pain patients’ consideration as it’s
for you to decide to select what exercise suits you!
WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis
of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of
chronic low back pain and somewhat superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial
to reduce pain and improve activity
in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga
was suggested to be a valuable combination
for CLBP patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga was said
to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term compared to
non-exercise, usual care, and education. However it had the same
effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some enjoy physical
therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they want.
Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows not every exercise option may be
our Largo back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are essential to participation...and Hollstrom & Associates Inc has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One set of researchers wrote that current
evidence doesn’t propose that any single
type of exercise is better than any other for back
pain relief. That’s interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP,
a major health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common type of exercise for back pain relief was reported as motor control exercise working
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not
superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an option for chronic low back pain patients among
other kinds of exercise. The researchers indicated
that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what
works. (3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc talks with each Largo back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
done. That’s the most important factor!
