Largo Back Pain Relief with Exercise & Chiropractic
As any sufferer of Largo back pain knows, getting relief can be a challenge. You may have tried multiple treatments and healthcare providers. But did you know that exercise could be an extra notch in the key to relieving your back pain? According to the CHAMPS Study-DK, associations between cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be affected by sex and health-related physical activity. (1) In other words, exercise can help reduce back pain. Let’s take a look at how this works.
HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH Largo BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has demonstrated itself beneficial for those who experience chronic back pain in several ways. First, it strengthens core and lower back muscles which support your spine and lessen strain on it. Strengthening these muscles can help alleviate some of the pressure placed on your spine and decrease the amount of back pain you experience due to poor posture or bad habits like slouching. Further, exercise helps boost flexibility in your joints; it boosts blood circulation which helps advance healing; and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help lower inflammation associated with chronic back pain. (2,3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is valuable to note that when initiating an exercise program for Largo back pain relief, you should start slowly and gradually up the intensity over time as your body adapts. It’s also important to choose low-impact exercises like walking or swimming rather than high impact exercises like running or jumping because these can put additional strain on your spine and aggravate rather than improve. With that, moderate aerobic exercise mixing strengthening and stretching exercises has been proven helpful in reducing lower back pain for many back pain sufferers with chronic conditions like back pain. Largo back pain patients have a great exercise partner at Hollstrom & Associates Inc as researchers note that chiropractors actively promote (and participate in their own) physical activity by providing exercise information, asking patients about their physical activity level, and counseling back pain patients about suitable exercises to help their conditions.
