Fall Risk. It is a actual risk
for many Millville folks today, particularly in the
over 65-year old group. Falls trigger pain.

and neck pain modify the risk of falls and begin
discussions of fall prevention among back pain patients and
their healthcare providers like yours at Wilson Family Chiropractic. Wilson Family Chiropractic cares
for many Millville back pain and neck pain patients who are at risk of falling. Wilson Family Chiropractic has
some tips to take the risk out of the fall
risk and help]16] Millville chiropractic patients grow stronger
and stay on their feet!
CAUSES OF Millville BALANCE ISSUES
Chronic low back pain sufferers have more trouble doing “sit to stand” and “stand to sit” processes.
These are just what they sound like! Healthy people can move
from sitting to standing and standing to sitting at a practical
rate. Chronic back pain sufferers are slower, likely due to the slower
muscle activation necessary to perform these movements. (1)
Chronic low back pain patients with lumbar spine instability are known
to have more postural sway when their eyes are closed or their
vision is in some way obscured. (2) Pain influences
balance and increases fall risk. Neck pain is significantly associated
with postural balance. Intense low back pain is related
to a significantly higher concern of falling. (3)
Wilson Family Chiropractic helps with both pain and balance in Millville
chiropractic patients.
HOW TO HELP BALANCE AND PREVENT FALLS
Certainly, the top two
reasons over-age-65-years patients get care from a
chiropractor like your Millville chiropractor are back pain and neck
pain. Other reasons are balance, groin pain, hip pain, and headaches. (4) Wilson Family Chiropractic
has great knowledge of the risks associated with falls and understands the impact of pain and balance on fall risk. Wilson Family Chiropractic
notices Millville chiropractic patients’ ways of
moving whenever they are in the office and takes note
of any concerns of fall risk. Millville chiropractic patients with Millville
back pain who discover that they are a bit unbalanced and at risk of falls are not alone! Wilson Family Chiropractic
has a few simple exercises to improve
balance and proprioception which in turn help prevent falls. A recent study reports that stabilizing
training decreased pain and disability. Balance training improved
balance. (5) Even a little improvement in balance and stability is a big help.
