Quality of life. That’s the important factor in aging well and enjoying life to its fullest. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is honored to work with Montreal chiropractic patients to increase their chances of aging well and experiencing the best quality of life possible. Montreal back pain patients value knowing what factors might adversely impact their quality of life and their options to reduce 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, making life not very pleasant. Researchers reported on factors that seem to decrease the odds of acquiring these conditions. What are they? Lower body mass index (BMI). Fine spinal alignment. Greater back muscle strength. No issue with locomotion syndrome – difficulty 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 notoriously key issues in motor control functions like balance, efforts to strengthen these specifically are important to attempt to turn around such problems as balance control. (2) Exercise is manytimes a part of the chiropractic treatment plan for Montreal back pain patients. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows that back pain sufferers have many options of care from which to pick 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 Montreal back pain patient. Undergoing back surgery does not always result in 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 minimal to no benefit from back surgery. (3) Today’s guidelines of care for back pain recommend non-surgical options like spinal manipulation as the first step. Chiropractic care is all about spinal manipulation. Chiropractic care at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is all about Cox® Technic flexion distraction decompression spinal manipulation to get the sought after pain reduction outcome.
Montreal CHIROPRACTIC CARE OUTCOMES
Chiropractic researchers are presently looking into the particular effects of chiropractic care’s spinal manipulation on balance, strength and endurance better outcomes in patients with low back pain, particularly active military personnel as 20% of all disability discharges were associated with back pain.

In another study, the addition of chiropractic care - 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.
