Largo Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise

April 20, 2021

“Do I have to exercise?”

“Only exercise if you want to feel better faster and prevent pain,“ your Largo chiropractic replies.

“How long do I have to exercise each day?”

“Not long, just effectively,” Hollstrom & Associates Inc suggests.

Exercise is not every Largo back pain or neck pain patient’s ‘cup of tea’. Hollstrom & Associates Inc understands. Exercise is also so key to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our Largo chiropractic patients all along the way to make the most of the exercise effort so that it pays off in pain prevention and relief.

OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Neck pain sufferers know how pain may decrease their ability to look around comfortably. Such neck pain patients were tested for their cervical range of motion and pain intensity with a flexion-rotation test. They were then instructed to do a 20-minutes cervical spine exercise session. 50% of them were then also treated with manual therapy applied to the C0-C1 and C2-C3 cervical spine levels. Those who did the exercise program and were treated benefitted significantly better in terms of range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another study reported that the optimal stretching time of cervical muscles in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome was 30 seconds as contrasted with 15 or 60 seconds or no stretching. This allowed the best benefit to pain intensity reduction while minimizing any adverse effects on neural function of the affected nerve roots and central nervous system. (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc always stresses that the appropriate exercise done in proper form does not have to take long to be effective! Plus, exercise puts some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be done whenever.

OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Incorporating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain makes sense. Such back pain impacts so many people around the world and is a foremost cause of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain patient to self-management. Recently, researchers posed that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health issues in such back pain patients - were enhanced with choices like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise. (3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc agrees! Exercise is valuable on so many fronts.
