Fall Risk. It is a actual risk
for many Manahawkin folks today, particularly in folks who are over 65. Falls cause pain.

and neck pain modify the risk of falls and initiate
conversations of fall prevention among back pain patients and
their healthcare providers like yours at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center treats many Manahawkin back pain and neck pain patients who have
higher risks of falls. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center offers
some tips to take the risk out of the fall
risk and help]16] Manahawkin chiropractic patients grow stronger

CAUSES OF Manahawkin BALANCE ISSUES
Chronic low back pain sufferers experience more concern
when performing “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
speed. Chronic back pain sufferers are slower, likely due to the slower
muscle activation necessary to do these movements. (1)
Chronic low back pain patients with lumbar spine instability are noted
to have more postural sway when their eyes are closed or their
vision is somehow obscured. (2) Pain influences
balance and increases fall risk. Neck pain is significantly related to postural balance. Intense low back pain is affiliated with a significantly higher concern of falling. (3)
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center helps with both pain and balance in Manahawkin
chiropractic patients.
HOW TO HELP BALANCE AND PREVENT FALLS
Certainly, the number 1 and 2
reasons over-age-65-years patients get care from a
chiropractor like your Manahawkin chiropractor are back pain and neck
pain. Other reasons are balance, groin pain, hip pain, and headaches. (4) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
knows the risks associated with falls and understands the impact of pain and balance on fall risk. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
notices Manahawkin chiropractic patients’ ways of
moving whenever they are in the office and sees any concerns of fall risk. Manahawkin chiropractic patients with Manahawkin
back pain who discover that they are a bit unbalanced and at risk of falls are not alone! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
has a few easy exercises to improve
balance and proprioception which then help prevent falls. A recent study reports that stabilizing
training decreased pain and disability. Balance training increased
balance. (5) Even a little improvement in balance and stability is a big help.
