Quality of life. That’s the key factor in aging well and enjoying life to its fullest. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is grateful to work with Manchester chiropractic patients to increase their chances of aging well and experiencing the best quality of life possible. Manchester back pain patients appreciate knowing what factors might negatively impact their quality of life and their options to lessen 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, making life not very enjoyable. Researchers found factors that seem to decrease the odds of suffering with these conditions. What are they? Lower body mass index (BMI). Fine spinal alignment. Greater back muscle strength. No trouble with locomotion syndrome – trouble with moving from one position to another, one place to another. 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 notoriously key factors in motor control functions like balance, attempts to strengthen these particularly are important to try to turn around such problems as balance control. (2) Exercise is manytimes a part of the chiropractic treatment plan for Manchester back pain patients. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries knows that back pain sufferers have many options of care from which to choose and shares what the researchers say about such options.
SURGICAL OUTCOMES
To get the most out of an option, the circumstances must be optimal. Back surgery may not always be the choice option for every Manchester back pain patient. Undergoing back surgery doesn’t always produce fully the desired outcome, especially for patients with back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis. The pain and disability that come with it stayed around for 29% to 42% of patients who supposedly had minimal to no benefit from back surgery. (3) Today’s guidelines of care for back pain propose non-surgical options like spinal manipulation first. Chiropractic care incorporates spinal manipulation. Chiropractic care at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries incorporates Cox® Technic flexion distraction decompression spinal manipulation to achieve the sought after pain reduction outcome.
Manchester CHIROPRACTIC CARE OUTCOMES
Chiropractic researchers are currently looking into the particular effects of chiropractic care’s spinal manipulation on balance, strength and endurance better outcomes in patients with low back pain, especially active military personnel as 20% of all disability discharges were related to back pain. (4) Low back pain is a frequent reason for disability in the military. Seeing as how military personnel are people like us all, this study’s results will be interesting! Another study that added chiropractic - spinal manipulative therapy to the low back and adjacent regions along with other therapeutic approaches like rehabilitative exercise, cryotherapy, superficial heat, and other manual therapies - to usual medical care - self-care, medications, physical therapy, and pain clinic referral – enhanced short-term outcomes in low back pain intensity and disability in active duty military.
