Largo Back Pain Benefits from Walking and Chiropractic Care

Walk. Walk. Walk. Running may have been a ‘go to’ exercise a few years ago. Speed may have been a goal at one time. Distance may have been the target. Today, walking 90 minutes a week is a worthy target for back pain sufferers seeking Largo back pain relief. Hollstrom & Associates Inc encourages walking along with chiropractic spinal manipulation for optimal walking ability and back pain relief.

EXERCISE FOR Largo BACK PAIN RELIEF

Exercise is commonly recommended to back pain patients. Muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise are well documented to be effective for low back pain relief. But walking alone is not talked about as much? Hollstrom & Associates Inc urges Largo back pain patients to not tag on the word “just” before “walking”! Walking alone is an incredibly healing activity. Walking is essential to everyday life. Walking is something many of us underappreciate until we can’t walk or something like back pain stops us from walking like we once did. A new research report verifies this: Walking more than ninety minutes each week was related to a lower risk of self-reported low back pain in adults who are 50 years old and over. 90 minutes is not much; regular walking for 30 minutes a day three days a week is best.

CHIROPRACTIC ENHANCES WALKING

Visiting a licensed chiropractor increases walking distance. A new research report found that an all-inclusive non-surgical training which involved an exercise program directed by a chiropractor enhanced back and lower extremity fitness and lumbar spine flexibility, decreased pain and improved walking distance for lumbar spinal stenosis patients. (2) That’s important! Hollstrom & Associates Inc uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and promotes walking 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time. Having the ability to walk any distance for a half hour is valuable!
