Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc's chiropractic Treatment Plan May Help Improve Your Balance Control
Do you notice that your balance and equilibrium are not as good as they used to be? If so, you are in good company with many others in Fort Wayne, especially if back pain disrupts your life. Back pain disturbs balance mechanisms and can be responsible for falls, falls that lead to injury like a back pain episode, a fracture, a broken bone. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc can help with exercise recommendations and chiropractic treatment for underlying causes of balance issues.
Don't Let Age Fool You
Adolescents who have neck pain are at risk for developing chronic neck pain. Balance is influenced by nociceptors in the ligaments in the cervical spine. When these nociceptors are injured, balance problems may result. Adolescents may have a lower tissue tolerance to induce pain and an associated nociceptive response than do adults, so neck pain in adolescents may well be accompanied by balance problems. (3)
chiropractic balance recommendations are conservative. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc offers a thorough examination to young and older patients which will detect balance control issues, offer suggestions for improving your balance, and tracks any balance improvement as you heal.
