Falling and Aging do not go hand in hand!
Posted on July 14, 2009
Good Balance Keeps You Young
Keeping you on your feet is not just good for your bones it’s good for your brain. The brain depends on the information that is being sent back from your muscles for stimulation. The same area of the brain that controls coordination also controls memory and thinking, therefore, balance problems are an early indicator of Alzheimer’s. Researchers at the University of Washington, led by Dr. Eric Larson, followed 2,288 elderly patients for six years. At the start of the study none of the participants had any sign of dementia or Alzheimer’s, however, by the study’s end 319 had developed dementia and 221 had Alzheimer’s. Consistent among those who developed dementia were problems with walking and balance.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia may be Preventable
In addition to memory loss and mental decline, poor balance can lead to severe injury due to a fall. Falls are the number one cause of death in people age 75 and over. They are the number two cause of death for people age 65-75 and they are the number one cause of nonfatal, unintentional injuries treated by hospital emergency rooms among all ages. Poor balance is not a symptom of aging, its not just being clumsy or klutzy. Feeling uncoordinated, unstable on your feet and/or falling frequently are all warning signs of a neurological dysfunction. Left untreated this brain malfunction may lead to Alzheimer’s, a fall that results in death or a broken hip. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 90% of all hip fractures are caused by falls.
Balance Analysis is the Answer
Early detection and correction is the key to identifying and eliminating the risk of falling and may also reduce the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Concord Medical Chiropractic Neurology offers a complete balance restoration program. A computerized balance analysis identifies specific weaknesses that are then corrected and maintained through specifically targeted chiropractic neurological therapy.
