Auburn Fall Prevention and Pain Relief with Chiropractic Care
Falls can occur at any age. Falls can trigger much harm or not much harm at all. Falling once surely can raise the level of fear of falling again. All these bits of information highlight the fact that falls are a concern, a concern that is age blind. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. always questions our Auburn chiropractic patients if they have fallen recently. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is in favor of interventions like exercise that may reduce the fear of falls, the impact of falls and the incidence of falls. Plus, Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is really good at relieving Auburn back pain or neck pain that ensues.
OLDER FOLKS AND FALLS
Older folks reside at home by themselves and with others or in community-based accommodations. Each situation carries a risk of falling. Rugs, pets, misreading steps, or any number of things can result in a fall. For these older folks, the fear of falling is not uncommon. Researchers have done research studies involving exercise interventions that reduce the fear of falling and the risk of falling. Such trials with community-dwelling older folks encompassed planned, structured, repetitive physical activity geared toward improving strength, gait, balance and mood as well as decreasing falls. Some interventions tested are three dimensional,for example Tai Chi, Yoga, resistance training, and balance work. A meta-analysis of exercise trials reported on non-statistically significant benefits but benefits even so: an 11% reduction in people who fell, a 13% decrease in falls, a 19% drop in injuries from falls. (1) Another study of people between 60 and 88 years old 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 methods. (2) They found that such practices worked, particularly right after the intervention.

YOUNGER FOLKS AND FALLS
Younger people can appreciate Auburn fall prevention strategies as falls can be detrimental to them, too. Falls and fall-related injuries endanger people at all ages. Falls at work and at home are an issue. A workplace trial that lasted 10 weeks for working age adults with a judo-inspired exercise program worked on improving physical function, activity, fall-related self-efficacy and safe-landing skills for a fall. Participants got better physically and psychologically. They learned techniques in how to fall safely as well as how to avert falls.

Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. helps relieve fall-related back pain and neck pain, too.
