People say that back pain is a sign of aging. It is always associated with old age as our bones and joints get weak and old too at that point. Seniors experience it after sitting, standing, bending, carrying heavy things, traveling, or driving from afar.
These are the reasons why back pains occur. But sometimes, there is an underlying condition that you do not know. It can be skeletal or other matters. Skilled Nursing is a must when these conditions occur in seniors.
- Osteoporosis
A condition where the bones become brittle, which can lead to fractures. And those fractures cause pain. People suffering from this disease can have a hunchback. - Disc Bulge and Herniation
Coughing, sneezing, bending forward, sudden movements like twisting and turning can all be causes of this disorder. The gel-like discs inside the spinal columns may bulge or leak that can cause friction and nerve pinch. - Kidney Disease
Excessive consumption of fat, sodium, and sugar can cause kidney issues. Included in that list are the holding of urine and the complications from other diseases.
The common culprits of these conditions are lack of physical activity, slouching, obesity, and an overall unhealthy lifestyle. And if people will keep on doing these, the more they will become prone to back disorders.
And that’s why we at the Siloe Home Health are here to ensure that the elderly get the right amount of assistance they need to prevent injuries and other diseases. As part of Home Health Care in Rockport, Texas, we can educate them and their families on the proper posture, diet, and lifestyle to prevent these disorders.
