Rosenberg Wellness Center 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. Rosenberg Wellness Center is privileged to work with New York City chiropractic patients to enhance their chances of aging well and enjoying the best quality of life possible. New York City back pain patients understand that knowing what factors might negatively 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 decrease quality of life. These conditions often arise in mid-life and older life, rendering life not very pleasant. Researchers found factors that seem to decrease the odds of acquiring these conditions. What are they? Lower body mass index (BMI). Good 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 key factors in motor control functions like balance, attempts to strengthen these specifically are critical to attempt to reverse such problems as balance control. (2) Exercise is manytimes a part of the chiropractic treatment plan for New York City back pain patients. Rosenberg Wellness Center 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
To get the most out of an option, the circumstances must be optimal. Back surgery may not always be the best option for every New York City back pain patient. Undergoing back surgery does not always produce fully the desired outcome, especially for patients with back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis. The pain and disability that accompany it stayed around for 29% to 42% of patients who reportedly 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 Rosenberg Wellness Center is all about Cox® Technic flexion distraction decompression spinal manipulation to get the desired pain reduction outcome.
New York City CHIROPRACTIC CARE OUTCOMES
Chiropractic researchers are presently looking into the specific effects of chiropractic care’s spinal manipulation on balance, strength and endurance improvement in patients with low back pain, especially active military personnel as 20% of all disability discharges were associated with back pain. (4) Low back pain is a familiar cause of disability in the military. Seeing as how military personnel are people like us all, this study’s findings will be interesting! Another study that added chiropractic - spinal manipulative therapy to the low back and adjacent regions along with other therapeutic procedures like rehabilitative exercise, cryotherapy, superficial heat, and other manual therapies - to usual medical care - self-care, medications, physical therapy, and pain clinic referral – improved short-term outcomes in low back pain intensity and disability in active duty military. (5) Rosenberg Wellness Center collects these helpful studies to share with our New York City back pain patients.
