In a recent study published in Pain Medicine, researchers looked at the mobility of 108 senior adults. 54 of those older adults suffered from chronic lower back pain. The investigators found that these older adults with chronic lower back pain had more lumbar mobility impairments. This is important because as we age, there can be a serious risk for a fall. This can then affect a person’s quality of life, ability to perform activities of daily living and independence.
