Manahawkin Fall Prevention and Pain Relief with Chiropractic Care
Falls can occur at any age. Falls can cause great harm or little harm at all. Falling once surely can raise the level of fear of falling again. All these bits of information underscore that falls are am issue, an issue that is age blind. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center always inquires our Manahawkin chiropractic patients if they have fallen lately. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center backs interventions like exercise that may reduce the fear of falls, the impact of falls and the incidence of falls. Plus, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is quite good at relieving Manahawkin back pain or neck pain that ensues.
OLDER FOLKS AND FALLS
Older folks live at home by themselves and with others or in community-based accommodations. Each scenario carries a risk of falling. Rugs, pets, misreading steps, or any number of things can cause a fall. For these older friends and neighbors and relatives, the fear of falling is not uncommon. Researchers have put effort into research studies looking at exercise interventions that decrease the fear of falling as well as the risk of falling. Such trials with community-dwelling older persons incorporated planned, structured, repetitive physical activity oriented to improving strength, gait, balance and mood as well as decreasing falls. Some interventions tested are 3D,for example Tai Chi, Yoga, resistance training, and balance work. One meta-analysis of exercise trials described non-statistically significant benefits but benefits even so: an 11% reduction in people who fell, a 13% decrease in falls, a 19% reduction in injuries from falls. (1) Another study of people between 60 and 88 years old that used a judo inspired exercise program which taught them how to fall and how to prevent falls revealed significant improvements in physical performance, fall-related self-efficacy and fall methods. (2) They discovered that such practices worked, particularly immediately following the intervention. (3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center would encourage our older Manahawkin patients to keep exercising to extend these fall-prevention and fall-fear-reducing advantages!
YOUNGER FOLKS AND FALLS
Younger people can benefit from Manahawkin fall prevention strategies as falls can be detrimental to them, too. Falls and fall-related injuries endanger people at all ages. Falls at work and at home are a problem. A workplace trial that lasted 10 weeks for working age adults with a judo-inspired exercise program set out to improve physical function, activity, fall-related self-efficacy and safe-landing methods for a fall. Participants got better physically and psychologically. They gathered techniques in how to fall safely as well as how to stop falls.

Manahawkin Chiropractic Center helps relieve fall-related back pain and neck pain, too.
