Fort Wayne Stability is Critical for Back Painand for Coping Today

Just a quick comment on the current COVID-19. The CDC recommendations about best strategies to cope are good. Look after yourself, EXERCISE, eat healthy, breathe, connect, and hope. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc suggests the same…and also suggests that you see your Fort Wayne chiropractor for extra stabilization and balance!

Now, let’s look at exercise to not only stabilize YOU and your fellow Fort Wayne chiropractic patients during times like these may provoking, but exercise to stabilize your spine during and after Fort Wayne back pain episodes.

STABILITY AND BALANCE AND BACK PAIN

Stability and balance go hand-in-hand. Stability alludes to how balance is controlled. Inhibited balance control is connected with less stability. Balance or rather a disruption of balance or the sense of stability is often noticed in or reported by musculoskeletal pain patients who experience back pain and neck pain. For this reason, Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc watches each chiropractic patient meticulously during their whole visit from the time you walk through the front door, down the hall to your treatment room, and out the door again. Observation is a helpful tool in the management of back pain and related leg pain, Fort Wayne neck pain and any related arm pain. Researchers studied this topic of balance and its disruption, too. New studies reported on patients’ gait speed, their “timed up and go test” ability, step test and “sit-to-stand test.” Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc appreciates these tests. Some of our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients will be curious about what we’re examining when we have them sit in a chair and stand up from the chair and note how long it takes them to do it! We chiropractors are an inquisitive group! Tests like these reveal to your Fort Wayne chiropractor a lot about your spinal condition. Another analysis of such studies found that manual therapy like spinal manipulation offered at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc improved short-term stability measures. (1) Be certain more studies like these are ongoing, and one explicitly looking at how Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction affects these tests and ultimately the balance and stability of back pain patients is underway.

BALANCE AND FALLS

Many trials have previously documented that many chronic musculoskeletal pain patients experience falls and have balance issues. That is a foremost issue for older patients with such musculoskeletal pain as they manytimes also have stiffer, less coordinated gait, and poorer balance and muscle strength. (1) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc urges our patients to exercise for balance and stability.

EXERCISE FOR STABILITY AND BALANCE

The lumbar spine multifidus muscle is a well-known and most critical stabilizer for the spine. Soccer players get this! Researchers studied their multifidus muscles during the soccer season. At rest while lying down, these players’ multifidus muscle thickness decreased. Those players with low back pain showed significant change at rest. (2) Australian football players with low back pain were to have the same issue while standing as well as lying down. (3) Both studies said that body composition and body fat and mass were connected with the lumbar multifidus muscle size. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc has some exercise recommendations for our Fort Wayne back pain patients to boost their multifidus muscles and increase their sense of balance and stability. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is ready to share them with you at your Fort Wayne chiropractic appointment!
