Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Largo Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women demands some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc provide that attention! Women who experience back pain are a special subset of our chiropractic practice with whom we love to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Largo BACK PAIN
A recent report shared that low back pain among older women stems from abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women described in this study also experienced reduced mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these concerns together? Muscle. Researchers explained that muscle weakness directly tied low back pain, malnutrition, and decreased mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise improved these issues.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Largo chiropractic patients with back pain want pain relief. That’s the goal of care. Our patients frequently try other healthcare options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating sever patients need to be treated for 1 patient to experience benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study reported that these options often deliver clinically meaningful pain decrease as demonstrated by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works over time though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the single intervention that demonstrated sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period ended was exercise. (2) We share this to encourage exercise for all our Largo back pain (and neck pain) patients. For purposes of this article about women with low back pain, Hollstrom & Associates Inc encourages our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It’s central to the chiropractic treatment plan that involves simple exercises as the starting point!
