The Value of Largo Healthy Living

November 21, 2017

Healthy living. How do you describe that? Do you embrace it? What are healthy living behaviors? Hollstrom & Associates Inc is all for healthy living. Hollstrom & Associates Inc sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Largo chiropractic patients can expect their Largo chiropractor to be an escort to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only help them cope with exisiting spine pain issues but also avent future bouts of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other health issues that are best prevented.

HEALTHY BEHAVIORS

What are some healthy behaviors? A good diet. Exercise. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those sound about right, don’t they? A new study described that men who took advantage of more of these healthy choices had lower possibility of long lasting low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Consuming fruit and vegetables is another favorable healthy behavior. This plus the other behaviors appeared to decrease the possibility of having long term upsetting low back pain in women and even potentially improve the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Participating in a community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program enhances the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Using a lumbar support orthosis increases postural control when standing on unlevel ground.  This may be notably welcomed by34 patients with non-specific low back pain as they are predisposed to be more unstable. (4) Hollstrom & Associates Inc works with our Largo back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.

CHOICE OF CARE

Choice of care for health care issues results in more healthy behaviors. When patients are able to choose their provider for back pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were lower than if they sought care from their medical doctor first and were referred. Direct access makes a difference in costs and outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain relief shows that their knowledge of the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, how close they were to the doctor’s office, and doctor’s qualifications motivated their choice.
