Your Tonawanda chiropractor is always
on alert for interesting stories to address
Tonawanda back pain patients’ questions. Tonawanda back pain
patients like simple answers. Your Tonawanda chiropractor at
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation does, too. Read more about these factors that guide
your relief of Tonawanda back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Tonawanda low back pain (LBP) poses
a huge socioeconomic problem even though the
mechanisms are not yet clear. Impaired motor control is
one of the mechanisms which was indicated by a lower
movement amplitude of the pelvis, more in-phase coordination,
lower ground reaction forces, greater stride-to-stride variability
and an elevated motion in spine muscles.
Impaired motor control during walking is reflected in higher
activity of the spine muscles which leads to a stiffened lumbar-pelvic
region. (1) Dysmobility Syndrome (DMS) (abnormal spine motion) of the
musculoskeletal system and adverse health problems in older population is seen.
Abnormal spine mobility is linked to metabolic
syndrome (MetS) (2), and MetS involves a grouping
of cardiovascular risk factors (insulin resistance, hypertension, glucose
intolerance, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia. (7) DMS and MetS are linked
in six ways: increased body fat, declined
muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance issues. Notably, insulin
resistance was correlated to increased body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study showed
a compelling relationship between DMS and the existence
of MetS and its factors in the elderly population. (2)
Additionally, low high density lipid (HDL) cholesterol and
high low density cholesterol/high density lipid cholesterol ratio were
significantly associated with low back pain in a middle-aged Japanese
population. Tonawanda back pain patients are like them! These discoveries may
well back the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation helps Tonawanda chiropractic patients
with Tonawanda back pain relief and with their wish to fix
confounding metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation urges Tonawanda
chiropractic patients to exercise even simple
walking. Researchers evaluated the effects
of an exercise therapy program on pain and physical dimension of health-related
quality of life for 57 young adults of an average age of 21
with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy
program, performed 60 minutes weekly, showed
improved pain and disability and intensified
spine muscle endurance. This report confirmed that a
9-week progressive exercise therapy program can enhance physical
health and reduce the prevalence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation emphasizes that exercise is helpful!
BALANCE CONTROL
Tonawanda back pain in older folks effectively reduces balance ability.
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation doesn’t view this as a good
thing! These patients exhibited reduced
reliance on ankle and hip strategy for balance
control causing a deficit
of postural control from proprioceptive impairment. Moreover, older
patients with low back pain are at higher risk for lower leg
proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation certainly
checks Tonawanda back pain patients for problems
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
One more interesting
finding is low hand grip strength in women who are
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly related to the presence of low back pain. (6) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
finds this interesting, but it is documented!
