Layden Chiropractic 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. Layden Chiropractic is honored to work with Plainville chiropractic patients to boost their odds of aging well and enjoying the best quality of life possible. Plainville back pain patients appreciate knowing what factors might adversely impact their quality of life and their options to diminish 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 lower quality of life. These conditions often arise in mid-life and older life, rendering 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). Good spinal alignment. Greater back muscle strength. No issue with locomotion syndrome – trouble with moving from one position to another, one place to another. Stable body balance. With all of these 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 important issues in motor control functions like balance, attempts to strengthen these explicitly are important to attempt to turn around such problems as balance control. (2) Exercise is manytimes a part of the chiropractic treatment plan for Plainville back pain patients. Layden Chiropractic realizes that back pain sufferers have many healthcare forms of care from which to choose 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 Plainville back pain patient. Undergoing back surgery doesn’t always produce fully the desired outcome, particularly 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 incorporates spinal manipulation. Chiropractic care at Layden Chiropractic is all about Cox® Technic flexion distraction decompression spinal manipulation to get the desired pain reduction outcome.

Plainville CHIROPRACTIC CARE OUTCOMES

Chiropractic researchers are currently looking into the particular 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 related to back pain. (4) Low back pain is a familiar cause of disability in the military. Given that military personnel are people like the rest of us, this study’s results will be interesting! In another study, the addition of chiropractic care - spinal manipulative therapy to the low back and adjacent regions along with other therapeutic approaches such as 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. (5) Layden Chiropractic collects these helpful studies to share with our Plainville back pain patients.
