Fall Risk. It is a genuine risk
for many Fernandina Beach folks today, especially in folks who are over 65. Falls trigger pain.
Falls are costly. Falls unsettle life. Back pain
and neck pain affect the risk of falls and initiate
discussions of fall prevention among back pain patients and
their healthcare providers like yours at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic treats many Fernandina Beach back pain and neck pain patients who have
higher risks of falls. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic offers
some tips to limit the risk of the fall
risk and facilitate the way for Fernandina Beach chiropractic
patients to grow stronger
and stay balanced!
CAUSES OF Fernandina Beach BALANCE ISSUES
Chronic low back pain sufferers experience more trouble performing “sit to stand” and “stand to sit” processes.
These are just what they sound like! Healthy people can go
from sitting to standing and standing to sitting at a reasonable
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 in some way concealed. (2) Pain affects
balance and increases fall risk. Neck pain is significantly related to postural balance. Intense low back pain is affiliated with a significantly higher concern of falling. (3)
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic helps with both pain and balance in Fernandina Beach
chiropractic patients.
HOW TO HELP BALANCE AND PREVENT FALLS
Of note, the top two
reasons over-age-65-years patients seek care from a
chiropractor like your Fernandina Beach chiropractor are back pain and neck
pain. Other reasons are balance, groin pain, hip pain, and headaches. (4) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
has great knowledge of the risks associated with falls and fully
comprehends the impact of pain and balance on fall risk. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
recognizes Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients’ ways of
moving whenever they are in the office and takes note
of any red flags for fall risk. Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients with Fernandina Beach
back pain who find
themselves with balance issues and fall risks are not alone! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
offers a few easy exercises to improve
balance and proprioception which in turn help prevent falls. A recent study reports that stabilizing
training reduced pain and disability. Balance training improved
balance. (5) Even a little improvement in balance and stability is a big help.
