Largo Migraine Sufferers May Find Exercise and Chiropractic Help
Migraine is a frustrating condition for its sufferers. It’s expensive in terms of pain, money, and pharmacological use need. Drugs are still the “gold standard” of care. Patients often request choices from their migraine healthcare providers for non-drug options. Largo migraine sufferers want options! Hollstrom & Associates Inc puts forward that exercise may be one such useful choice.
EXERCISE FOR CHRONIC PAIN
Migraine is, for most Largo migraine sufferers, a chronic pain condition. It is not typically a one time situation. Chronic pain disrupts the nervous system as well as the specific pain-generating issue. Researchers explained evidence that exercise helps a variety of chronic pain conditions including migraine directly and indirectly with a goal of changing the cycle of pain, sedentariness, and degenerating disability. These changes don’t emerge overnight. They come with long-term, consistent, individualized exercise bringing about improvement in pain and function. (1) Hollstrom & Associates Inc tells our Largo chiropractic patients with all sorts of conditions that it’s slow and steady commitment that results in desired outcomes.
EXERCISE FOR MIGRAINE BEING STUDIED
Researchers and migraine sufferers alike hold out hope for an easy, inexpensive approach to migraine care. Case in point, a new comparison project of neck-specific exercise versus sham ultrasound to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks. (2) A recent meta-analysis in Headache reported that aerobic exercise for migraine patients dropped the number of migraine days. (3) These are valuable outcomes for Largo migraine treatment.
EXERCISE BENEFITS: Overall and Migraine Specific
Largo chiropractic patients are manytimes encouraged to exercise. Exercise seems like a recommended panacea for everything from back pain to migraine to depression to neck pain and so much more. Why? It works. Exercise stifles inflammation via reduction of inflammatory modulators (many cytokines) and stress hormones (growth hormone and cortisol). Exercise constructively impacts the microvascular system that possibly influences a certain type of cortical spreading depression. Migraine specifically, exercise helped migraine self-efficacy by permitting the migraine sufferer to have a sense of control which reduced migraine burden. How much exercise produces this type of effect? “Sufficiently rigorous aerobic exercise” brought about statistically significant drop in migraine frequency, intensity and duration. That is appreciated by Largo migraine sufferers! Of course, higher intensity exercise appears to bring about more benefit. Pharmacological drugs like topiramate were reported to be superior to exercise, but adding exercise to its use was implied as being beneficial. Migraine sufferers who also have neck pain or tension headache are reported to benefit from exercise. Low impact is valuable if high impact exercise is not possible. (4) Hollstrom & Associates Inc concurs with the researchers’ bottom-line: exercise is a reasonable evidence-based recommendation for migraine prevention.
