Largo Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Benefits from Routine Exercise

Independence. It is an admirable quality. Most of the time. When it comes to exercise, seeking a bit of guidance more often is better. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is equipped to be your guide! Largo back pain sufferers can depend on Hollstrom & Associates Inc to assemble, demonstrate and supervise an exercise routine that is pain relieving just for you!

BENEFIT OF SUPERVISED EXERCISE

Research demonstrates that supervised exercise therapy allows significant symptom relief and improved quality of life for patients with intermittent claudication by boosting maximal walking distance in just 3 months. Sadly, it is not put in to practice enough. Home based exercise therapy with observation devices like a pedometer or logbook and walking are other beneficial alternatives to supervised exercise, allowing a bit more of the desired independence. (1) Largo back pain patients may benefit in the same way these back pain sufferers do. Spinal stenosis back pain patients would value walking more in such a way!

MORE FREQUENT SUPERVISED SESSIONS BENEFICIAL

A newer report states that supervised physical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis patients gave significant short-term improvements in symptom severity, walking distance, pain, physical activity and function in comparison to unsupervised. (2) A follow-up study compared a more specific schedule of supervised physical therapy visits – twice a week and once a week - to home exercise. It reports specifically that 6 weeks of supervised physical therapy two times a week for lumbar spinal stenosis patients provided significant short term improvements in the severity of symptoms, physical function, back and leg pain and gait disturbance rather than one time a week PT visits and home exercise alone. (3) Our Largo back pain patients would welcome all these improvements, without a doubt!

EXERCISE AS PART OF AN OVERALL BACK PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT PLAN

Improvement is the goal in managing back pain. Independence only takes you so far when your back is hurting. There is always a tipping point when the pain just can’t be put up with any more! Then a visit to the doctor is planned. Many articles are written about the choice of healthcare provider a back pain sufferer sees first sets the course for resulting care. (That was the subject of another blog!) Concerning exercise and physical therapy for back pain, though, these are conservative management forms that are often too infrequently used while opioid prescriptions are very common in the year before elective lumbar spine surgery: 84.4% opioid prescription and 14.6% minimum of 6 exercise therapy sessions.
