YOUTH ATHLETES, THEIR SPORTS, AND SPONDYLOLYSIS BACK PAIN
Back pain may affect young athletes in a variety
of sports. Researchers propose that the young person or
adolescent with low back pain and back muscle spasm needs to be
followed closely for increased risk of pars
interarticularis fracture associated with spondylolisthesis
and spondylolysis. (1) In a new study of 1025 adolescent athletes with low back
pain, 30% of them was affected by spondylolysis. By sport, males’ top
three sports with higher risk were baseball (54%),
soccer (48%), and hockey (44%). Females’ top three sports were gymnastics
(34%), marching band (31%), and softball (30%). Geography and level of athletic
ability may significantly influence the risk of
spondylolysis in athletes. (2) This tells Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
that athletes of all ages and all sports deserve attention when suffering
with Tonawanda back pain.
MOTIONS INFLUENCING SPONDYLOLYSIS
Tonawanda back pain sufferers frequently
comment that their back pain came on after a particular
really non-hurtful move. That’s not uncommon! Past
research reports often indicated that
repetitive motion of the lumbar spine into extension, rotation or a combination
of these to be important risk factors for spondylolysis. Such
motions were noted in baseball batting or pitching practice, soccer
shooting practice, and volleyball spiking practice. Running track and field does not require such motions, and running athletes
are seen with spondylolysis prompting
researchers to determine why. They discovered that
the spinopelvic angles of running athletes are similar to the above sports’ athletes, making them vulnerable
to mechanical stress
on the pars interarticularis, too, leading to spondylolysis. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
helps Tonawanda back pain sufferers, athletes and non-athletes alike.
GLUCOSAMINE SUPPLEMENTATION BENEFITS FOR ALL
A new article explained
that endurance athletes has intense joint-loading leading
to cartilage metabolism and type II collagen degradation. In soccer and rugby players, the
type II collagen degradation was elevated signifying
improved cartilage metabolism compared to that of non-athletes
while type II collagen synthesis was nearly equivalent.
Glucosamine – a type II collagen – delivered a chondroprotective
action on osteoarthritis by blocking type II collagen
degradation. (4) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation has more information on
glucosamine and chondroitin supplementation benefits for your spine and joints
whether you’re an athlete or not!
