Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Shares Tips on How to Reduce Negative Effects of Back Pain on Your Life
Quality of life. That’s the central factor in aging well and taking pleasure in life to its fullest. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is grateful to work with Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients to boost their chances of aging well and relishing the best quality of life possible. Fernandina Beach back pain patients value knowing what factors might adversely 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 lower quality of life. These conditions often happen in mid-life and older life, rendering life not very pleasant. Researchers reported on 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 – difficulty switching positions. Good 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 known to be important factors in motor control functions like balance, attempts to strengthen these explicitly are important to attempt to turn around such problems as balance control. (2) Exercise is often a part of the chiropractic treatment plan for Fernandina Beach back pain patients. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows that back pain sufferers have many options 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 choice option for every Fernandina Beach back pain patient. Undergoing back surgery doesn’t always result in the desired outcome, especially for patients with back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis. The pain and disability that accompany it lingered for 29% to 42% of patients who supposedly experienced little to no benefit from back surgery. (3) Today’s guidelines of care for back pain propose non-surgical options like spinal manipulation as the first step. Chiropractic care is all about spinal manipulation. Chiropractic care at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic incorporates Cox® Technic flexion distraction decompression spinal manipulation to achieve the desired pain reduction outcome.
Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC CARE OUTCOMES
Chiropractic researchers are currently studying the particular effects of chiropractic care’s spinal manipulation on balance, strength and endurance better outcomes 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 frequent reason for disability in the military. Seeing as how military personnel are people like us all, this study’s results will be interesting! In another study, the addition of chiropractic care - 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 – enhanced short-term outcomes in low back pain intensity and disability in active duty military. (5) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic collects these helpful studies to share with our Fernandina Beach back pain patients.
