Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc Shares Tips on How to Reduce Negative Effects of Back Pain on Your Life
Quality of life. That’s the important factor in aging well and taking pleasure in life to its fullest. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is grateful to work with Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to boost their odds of aging well and relishing the best quality of life possible. Fort Wayne back pain patients appreciate knowing what factors might negatively impact their quality of life and their options to reduce 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 found factors that seem to reduce the odds of getting these conditions. What are they? Lower body mass index (BMI). Fine spinal alignment. Greater back muscle strength. No trouble with locomotion syndrome – trouble with moving from one position to another, one place to another. Stable body balance. With all of these good factors in place, middle aged and older folks can expect a better quality of life. (1) Further, since lumbar spine extensor muscles are known to be important issues in motor control functions like balance, attempts to strengthen these specifically are important to attempt to turn around such problems as balance control. (2) Exercise is manytimes a part of the chiropractic treatment plan for Fort Wayne back pain patients. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc knows that back pain sufferers have many healthcare forms of care from which to pick and shares what the researchers say about such options.
SURGICAL OUTCOMES
To benefit most out of an option, the circumstances must be optimal. Back surgery may not always be the best option for every Fort Wayne back pain patient. Undergoing back surgery doesn’t always result in the desired outcome, particularly for patients with back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis. The pain and disability that come with it lingered for 29% to 42% of patients who supposedly had little to no benefit from back surgery. (3) Today’s guidelines of care for back pain recommend non-surgical options like spinal manipulation first. Chiropractic care is all about spinal manipulation. Chiropractic care at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc incorporates Cox® Technic flexion distraction decompression spinal manipulation to get the sought after pain reduction outcome.
Fort Wayne 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 related to back pain. (4) Low back pain is a familiar cause of disability in the military. Seeing as how military personnel are people like us all, 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 procedures 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) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc gathers these helpful studies to share with our Fort Wayne back pain patients.
