Fall Risk. It is a real risk
for many Fort Wayne folks today, especially in the
over 65-year old group. Falls trigger pain.
Falls are expensive. Falls unsettle life. Back pain
and neck pain modify the risk of falls and begin
conversations of fall prevention among back pain patients and
their healthcare providers like yours at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic cares
for many Fort Wayne back pain and neck pain patients who have
higher risks of falls. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic offers
some advice to take the risk out of the fall
risk and help]16] Fort Wayne chiropractic patients grow stronger
and stay balanced!
CAUSES OF Fort Wayne BALANCE ISSUES
Chronic low back pain sufferers have more trouble doing “sit to stand” and “stand to sit” processes.
These are just what they sound like! Healthy people can change
from sitting to standing and standing to sitting at a realistic
rate. Chronic back pain sufferers are slower, likely due to the slower
muscle activation necessary to perform these movements. (1)
Chronic low back pain patients with lumbar spine instability are known
to have more postural sway when their eyes are closed or their
vision is somehow obscured. (2) Pain affects
balance and increases fall risk. Neck pain is significantly associated
with postural balance. Intense low back pain is associated with a significantly higher concern of falling. (3)
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic helps with both pain and balance in Fort Wayne
chiropractic patients.
HOW TO HELP BALANCE AND PREVENT FALLS
Certainly, the number 1 and 2
reasons over-age-65-years patients look for care from a
chiropractor like your Fort Wayne chiropractor are back pain and neck
pain. Other reasons are balance, groin pain, hip pain, and headaches. (4) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
has great knowledge of the risks associated with falls and fully
comprehends the impact of pain and balance on fall risk. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
notices Fort Wayne chiropractic patients’ ways of
moving whenever they are in the office and takes note
of any red flags for fall risk. Fort Wayne chiropractic patients with Fort Wayne
back pain who discover that they are a bit unbalanced and at risk of falls are not alone! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
offers a few easy exercises to increase
balance and proprioception which then help prevent falls. A recent study shares that stabilizing
training reduced pain and disability. Balance training improved
balance. (5) Even a little improvement in balance and stability is an
important deal.
