Plainville ladies, this one is
for you (and those who love you!). Men and women have different
issues to deal with when it comes to their bodies. Of
course! Layden Chiropractic recognizes these
differences when it has to do with treating the spines and their various
hurting states of our Plainville chiropractic male and
female patients. Layden Chiropractic realizes the
differences but focuses on an interesting finding about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health
issues including Plainville back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Layden Chiropractic is amazed at the connections
researchers make! Researchers have verified
how grip strength is an indicator of an assortment
of health issues. One is anemia. Anemia affects 13.9% of elderly
people. Hand-grip strength and anemia in women is inversely related.
Low hand-grip strength suggests anemia. (1) Another issue
is that women with low hand-grip strength experienced poor
quality of life as far as mobility, usual
activities and pain/discomfort dimensions. (2) A third hand-grip strength link
to health is its capacity to monitor cognitive decline in adults
over 60 years old. Hand-grip strength declines; cognition decreases. (3) Layden Chiropractic finds these
tests interesting for Plainville chiropractic
patients and is really interested in what
hand-grip strength says about Plainville back pain!
GRIP STRENGTH AND BACK PAIN
Another connection is made among
back pain, hand-grip strength and a woman’s physical activity level in an
over-50-year-old woman. Researchers tested the hand-grip strength
of women. Each hand was tested with a dynamometer tool. Low hand-grip strength
was classified as low grip strength of the woman’s dominant hand.
A highly physical woman was described as one who did
muscle-strengthening exercise at least 3 days a week. Women who had low hand-grip strength and a low physical active level were more likely
to experience low back pain. (4) Layden Chiropractic does many tests during the Plainville chiropractic examination; now you know
why! Layden Chiropractic does not want to miss anything!
