Rosenberg Wellness Center has some tips to limit the risk of the fall risk and facilitate the path for New York City chiropractic patients to grow stronger and stay upright!
CAUSES OF New York City BALANCE ISSUES
Chronic low back pain sufferers have more trouble 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 realistic 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 found to have more postural sway when their eyes are closed or their vision is in some way concealed. (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) Rosenberg Wellness Center helps with both pain and balance in New York City chiropractic patients.
HOW TO HELP BALANCE AND PREVENT FALLS
