As any sufferer of Largo
back pain understands, getting relief can be challenging. You may have visited various healthcare providers with
different treatments. 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, links between
cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be affected
by sex and health-related physical activity. (1) Namely, exercise can help ease back pain. Hollstrom & Associates Inc
presents some information about how this
works.
HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH Largo BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has demonstrated to be
beneficial for those who have
chronic back pain in several ways. First, it strengthens the muscles in your core and lower back which
support your spine and reduce strain on it. Strengthening
these muscles can help ease some of the pressure placed
on your spine and reduce the amount of back pain you experience
due to bad posture or bad habits like slouching. Further,
exercise helps increase flexibility in your joints; it enhances
blood circulation which helps advance healing;
and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help decrease
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 significant to be aware
that when initiating an exercise program for Largo
back pain relief, you should start gently and gradually raise
the intensity over time as your body adapts. It
is also valuable to select low-impact
exercises like walking or swimming rather than high impact
exercises like running or jumping since these
can put additional strain on your spine and aggravate
rather than improve. With that, moderate aerobic exercise combined with stretching and
strengthening exercises has been proven effective
in reducing lower back pain for many people suffering from chronic conditions like back pain. Largo back pain patients have a
great exercise partner at Hollstrom & Associates Inc as researchers explain
that chiropractors actively endorse (and participate in their
own) physical activity by providing exercise information, asking
patients about their physical activity level, and counseling back
pain patients about proper exercises to
help their conditions. (4)
