San Jose Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
San Jose ladies, this one’s for you (and those who love you!). Men and women have different issues to contend with when it comes to their bodies. Naturally! Chiropractic Solutions recognizes these differences when it has to do with treating the spines and their various injured states of our San Jose chiropractic male and female patients. Chiropractic Solutions grasps the differences but focuses on an interesting discovery about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues including San Jose back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Chiropractic Solutions is amazed at the connections researchers make! Researchers have documented how grip strength is a sign 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 indicates anemia. (1) Another issue is that women with low hand-grip strength faced poor quality of life insofar as mobility, usual activities and pain/discomfort dimensions. (2) A third hand-grip strength connection to health is its ability to monitor cognitive decline in adults over 60 years old. Hand-grip strength decreases; cognition decreases. (3) Chiropractic Solutions finds these tests interesting for San Jose chiropractic patients and is quite drawn to what hand-grip strength says about San Jose back pain!
GRIP STRENGTH AND BACK PAIN
Another connection is formulated among back pain, hand-grip strength and a woman’s physical activity level in an over-50-year-old woman. Researchers checked the hand-grip strength of women. Each hand was tested with a dynamometer tool. Low hand-grip strength was defined as low grip strength of the woman’s dominant hand. A highly physical woman was defined as one who performed muscle-strengthening exercise at least 3 days a week. Women who tested with low hand-grip strength and a low physical active level were more probable to have low back pain. (4) Chiropractic Solutions does many tests during the San Jose chiropractic examination; now you know why! Chiropractic Solutions does not want to miss anything!
