Concord, NC back pain patients understand that knowing what factors might negatively 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 happen in mid-life and older life, rendering life not very pleasant. Researchers reported on factors that seem to reduce the odds of getting these problems. 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. Good 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 known to be key factors in motor control functions like balance, efforts to strengthen these particularly are important to try to turn around such problems as balance control. (2) Exercise is often a part of the chiropractic treatment plan for Concord, NC back pain patients. Pure Chiropractic 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
