Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is privileged to work with Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to increase their odds of aging well and enjoying the best quality of life possible. Fort Wayne back pain patients understand that knowing what factors might adversely impact their quality of life and their options to lessen 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 lower quality of life. These conditions often arise in mid-life and older life, making life not very pleasant. Researchers reported on factors that seem to reduce the odds of acquiring 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 expect a better quality of life. (1) Further, since lumbar spine extensor muscles are notoriously important factors in motor control functions like balance, attempts to strengthen these particularly are important to try to reverse 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 the options.

SURGICAL OUTCOMES

Undergoing back surgery doesn’t always produce fully the desired outcome, especially 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 experienced minimal to no benefit from back surgery.

Chiropractic care at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc incorporates Cox® Technic flexion distraction decompression spinal manipulation to achieve the sought after pain reduction outcome.
