risk and help]16] Auburn chiropractic patients grow stronger

CAUSES OF Auburn BALANCE ISSUES
Chronic low back pain sufferers have 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 reasonable
speed. 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 found
to have more postural sway with their eyes closed or their
vision is somehow concealed. (2) Pain influences
balance and increases fall risk. Neck pain is significantly related to postural balance. Intense low back pain is associated with a significantly higher concern of falling. (3)
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. helps with both pain and balance in Auburn
chiropractic patients.
HOW TO HELP BALANCE AND PREVENT FALLS
Of note, the number 1 and 2
reasons over-age-65-years patients obtain care from a
chiropractor like your Auburn chiropractor are back pain and neck
pain. Other reasons are balance, groin pain, hip pain, and headaches. (4) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.

important deal.
