CAUSES OF Ashburn BALANCE ISSUES
Chronic low back pain sufferers have more trouble performing “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 reasonable
rate. Chronic back pain sufferers are slower, likely due to the slower
muscle activation needed to perform these movements. (1)
Chronic low back pain patients with lumbar spine instability are found
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 associated
with postural balance. Intense low back pain is related
to a significantly higher concern of falling. (3)
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn helps with both pain and balance in Ashburn
chiropractic patients.
