Murfreesboro Fall Prevention and Pain Relief with Chiropractic Care
Falls can happen at any age. Falls can cause great harm or little harm at all. Falling once certainly can increase the intensity of fear of falling again. All these bits of information underscore that falls are a concern, a concern that is age blind. Most Chiropractic Clinic always asks our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients if they’ve fallen recently. Most Chiropractic Clinic is in favor of interventions like exercise that may decrease the fear of falls, the impact of falls and the incidence of falls. Plus, Most Chiropractic Clinic is really good at relieving Murfreesboro back pain or neck pain that develops.
OLDER FOLKS AND FALLS
Older folks live at home alone and with others or in community-based housing. Each situation has a risk of falling. Rugs, pets, misreading steps, or any number of things can cause a fall. For these older folks, the fear of falling is not unusual. Researchers have organized research studies looking at exercise interventions that reduce the fear of falling as well as the risk of falling. Such trials with community-dwelling older folks involved planned, structured, repetitive physical activity geared toward enhancing strength, gait, balance and mood in addition to decreasing falls. Some interventions tried are three dimensional like Tai Chi, Yoga, resistance training, and balance work. One meta-analysis of exercise trials reported on non-statistically significant benefits but benefits even so: an 11% reduction in people who fell, a 13% reduction in falls, a 19% drop in injuries from falls. (1) Another study of aged 60-88 year olds that used a judo inspired exercise program which taught them how to fall and how to prevent falls revealed significant improvements in physical performance, fall-related self-efficacy and fall techniques. (2) They reported that such practices worked, particularly right after the intervention. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic would support our older Murfreesboro patients’ continued exercising to extend these fall-prevention and fall-fear-reducing advantages!
YOUNGER FOLKS AND FALLS
Younger people can appreciate Murfreesboro fall prevention strategies as falls can be just as detrimental to them. Falls and fall-related injuries threaten people at all ages. Falls at work and at home are a problem. A workplace trial of 10 weeks for working age adults with a judo-inspired exercise program set out to improve physical function, activity, fall-related self-efficacy and safe-landing methods for a fall. Participants got better physically and psychologically. They gathered techniques in how to fall safely as well as how to stop falls. (4) Most Chiropractic Clinic supports exercise for all Murfreesboro chiropractic family members, young and old, to keep strong and healthy in the face of challenges like falls. Most Chiropractic Clinic helps alleviate fall-related back pain and neck pain, too.
