Manahawkin Chiropractic Center Shares Tips on How to Reduce Negative Effects of Back Pain on Your Life
Quality of life. That is the central factor in aging well and enjoying life to its fullest. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is grateful to work with Manahawkin chiropractic patients to enhance their chances of aging well and enjoying the best quality of life possible. Manahawkin back pain patients appreciate knowing what factors might adversely affect their quality of life and their options to diminish the influence of those factors.
FACTORS INFLUENCING BACK PAIN AND QUALITY OF LIFE
Musculoskeletal diseases like osteoporosis, knee arthritis, disc degeneration and related back pain decrease quality of life. These conditions often arise in mid-life and older life, rendering life not very pleasant. Researchers reported on factors that seem to reduce the odds of suffering with these conditions. What are they? Lower body mass index (BMI). Fine spinal alignment. Greater back muscle strength. No issue with locomotion syndrome – difficulty switching positions. Stable body balance. With such good factors in place, middle aged and older folks can enjoy a better quality of life. (1) Further, since lumbar spine extensor muscles are notoriously key issues in motor control functions like balance, efforts to strengthen these specifically are important to try to turn around such problems as balance control. (2) Exercise is manytimes a part of the chiropractic treatment plan for Manahawkin back pain patients. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows that back pain sufferers have many healthcare forms of care from which to pick and shares what the researchers say about the options.
SURGICAL OUTCOMES
To benefit most out of an option, the circumstances must be optimal. Back surgery may not always be the choice option for every Manahawkin back pain patient. Undergoing back surgery does not always produce fully the desired outcome, particularly for patients with back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis. The pain and disability that come with it stayed around for 29% to 42% of patients who supposedly had minimal to no benefit from back surgery. (3) Today’s guidelines of care for back pain propose non-surgical options like spinal manipulation first. Chiropractic care is all about spinal manipulation. Chiropractic care at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is all about Cox® Technic flexion distraction decompression spinal manipulation to achieve the desired pain reduction outcome.
Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC CARE OUTCOMES
Chiropractic researchers are currently looking into the particular effects of chiropractic care’s spinal manipulation on balance, strength and endurance improvement in patients with low back pain, particularly active military personnel as 20% of all disability discharges were associated with back pain. (4) Low back pain is a familiar reason for disability in the military. Given that military personnel are people like the rest of us, this study’s findings will be interesting! Another study that added chiropractic - spinal manipulative therapy to the low back and adjacent regions along with other therapeutic approaches like rehabilitative exercise, cryotherapy, superficial heat, and other manual therapies - to usual medical care - self-care, medications, physical therapy, and pain clinic referral – improved short-term outcomes in low back pain intensity and disability in active duty military. (5) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center collects these positive studies to share with our Manahawkin back pain patients.
