“Exercise Induced Hypoalgesia”
[hypo (lessened) + algesic
(painful sensation)]
It’s pain relief. When you are in pain, you want pain
relief. Physical exercise provides pain relief. (1) Hollstrom & Associates Inc often integrates
exercise into our Largo chiropractic patients’ treatment plans.
Why? Because exercise works. Exercise is beneficial in so many ways. Here,
Hollstrom & Associates Inc attempts to share how exercise benefits pain relief.
Physical exercise as simple as treadmill running or swimming
truly improves a person’s reaction to painful stimuli, even stimuli that isn’t
painful as in allodynia. Physical exercise dramatically changes the levels of
inflammatory cytokines, neurotrophins, neurotransmitters and other elements of
the nervous system like the dorsal root ganglia and dorsal horn in the spine to
reduce pain. (1) Hollstrom & Associates Inc favors any approach that leads to reduction of
low back pain in conjunction with our spinal manipulation
treatment with Cox Technic.
Exercise and manipulation are positive ways to manage low back pain as evidenced by all of the research documentation they
both receive. Manipulation plus stabilizing exercise is more effective for pain
reduction and disability than a physician consultation alone. (2) Exercise as
one element of a non-invasive and non-drug physical and psychological treatment
approach along with yoga, information, spinal manipulation and acupuncture to
low back pain reduction is cost effective and pain relief effective. (3) Stabilization
exercise reduces pain and disability like manual therapy does for low back
pain. (4) Largo chiropractic patients and Largo low
back pain sufferers benefit when low back pain relief care combines the two in
some way.
Exercise is certainly of value when dealing with low back
pain. It enhances calming of the nervous system when painful stimuli are distressing
it, it numbs some the pain of the pain-inducing stimuli, it’s
hypoalgesic. Contact Hollstrom & Associates Inc to set a Largo chiropractic
treatment plan to reduce your low back pain experience with a multipronged
approach including exercise, nutrition, spinal manipulation and other
chiropractic care.
