Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic offers some tips to limit the risk of the fall risk and facilitate the path for Montreal chiropractic patients to grow stronger and stay balanced!

CAUSES OF Montreal BALANCE ISSUES

Chronic low back pain sufferers experience more trouble doing “sit to stand” and “stand to sit” processes. These are just what they sound like! Healthy people can change from sitting to standing and standing to sitting at a practical speed. Chronic back pain sufferers are slower, likely due to the slower muscle activation necessary to do these movements. (1) Chronic low back pain patients with lumbar spine instability are known to have more postural sway with their eyes closed or their vision is in some way concealed. (2) Pain influences balance and increases fall risk. Neck pain is significantly related to postural balance. Intense low back pain is related to a significantly higher concern of falling. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic helps with both pain and balance in Montreal chiropractic patients.

HOW TO HELP BALANCE AND PREVENT FALLS
