At Central Ohio Spine and Joint, we spend a lot of time helping patients get out of pain — but the real magic happens when they stay out of pain and regain confidence in their body.

That’s where strength training comes in.

As we age, one of the biggest threats to our independence isn’t just arthritis or old injuries — it’s muscle loss. Starting in our 30s, we lose up to 8% of our muscle mass per decade, and that rate accelerates after 60. This decline in strength affects everything from balance and posture to how easily you get out of a chair, climb stairs, or carry groceries.

Pain Relief Is Just the Beginning

Our care model at COSJ follows a proven process:
Repair → Retrain → Reinforce.

• In the Repair phase, we use chiropractic care, dry needling, manual therapy, and focused rehab to reduce pain and inflammation.
• In the Retrain phase, we restore proper movement patterns, joint mechanics, and coordination.
• But the Reinforce phase — that’s where long-term independence is built. And that happens through strength training.

Strength Training Is the Best “Insurance Policy” for Aging Well

Strength training helps preserve muscle, improve balance, and reduce fall risk. It also makes your joints more resilient, supports bone density, and boosts confidence in your day-to-day life.

We recently published a full article on this topic over on our fitness side, The Training Room:
