Largo Exercise Helps Cope with Pain and Aging

"If you don't keep going, you're gonna die." Now, there is a title to a research paper! Hollstrom & Associates Inc was even taken back a bit, but it’s true. No matter your age, your pain, your life plan, we all have to keep going forward! This is so real for middle- to older-age Largo back and neck pain sufferers. Fortunately, Hollstrom & Associates Inc is here to help.

ANTI-AGING EXERCISE BENEFITS

We all start considering anti-aging benefits at a certain age! One group of researchers stated that regular exercise has multi-system anti-aging effects and called for more research to gather knowledge of just how molecular mediators of exercise benefits function in older folks rather than just looking for pharmaceuticals. (1) Hollstrom & Associates Inc enthusiastically agrees! Walking is great! This a terrific message for all Largo pain sufferers!

BENEFICIAL DAILY EXERCISE STEPS

Take a walking stroll each day with a goal of 7000 steps. Why? Research. 2,110 black and white men and women and their steps-per-day counts were followed. They wore an accelerometer from 2005 to 2006 and then were monitored for a mean of 10.8 years. Their stats were examined in 2020 and 2021 to measure what, if any, association was made between steps-per-day and all-mortality death risk. This study was part of the larger CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study. Steps-taken-per-day were described as “low” (less than 7000), “moderate” (7000-9999) and “high” (more than 10,000). Stepping intensity – stepping rate – played a role, too. Moderate/high step rate was linked to a reduced risk of mortality in black and white women and men in middle-age who took 7000 steps or more a day compared with those who walked less. (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc witnesses how walking helps – 7000 steps or not – and urges Largo chiropractic patients to take walks as best they can. Any walk works!

EXERCISE HELPS COPING WITH PAIN

How do most Largo back pain patients deal with chronic low back pain? Some of the things people may express are these:

  • I feel helpless because nothing works.
  • I feel down and depressed.
  • I distantly wish for an end to it.
  • I accept the reality of my pain.
  • The pain stays, I keep going.

What about you? There is no right or wrong answer. Hollstrom & Associates Inc sees them all! Hollstrom & Associates Inc is here to help. We meet each back pain patient – old or young, active or inactive – where each one is. We build a treatment plan together. The researchers who formulated the above basic 5 categories of how patients deal with chronic low back pain acknowledged how pain influences life. (3) So does Hollstrom & Associates Inc. Consulting our Largo chiropractic office is a good step toward perseverance in managing pain and enjoying life!
