Tonawanda Chiropractic Care for Spine and Related Musculoskeletal Pain

November 28, 2023

Pain makes us a bit self-centered instead of life-centered which is entirely logical and logically global. People around the globe experience pain, back pain, neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, much of which is spine-centered. Luckily, Tonawanda chiropractic care is locally accessible to help contain as well as alleviate spine-related pain.

GLOBAL IMPACT OF SPINE AND MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN CONDITIONS

Data from a worldwide study that followed spine pain (neck pain and low back pain) patients from 1990 to 2019 revealed that the “years lived with disabilities,” incidence, and prevalence of both conditions grew significantly. Worldwide, neck pain and low back pain were recorded as burdening public health significantly, particularly as people age, being most problematic in middle and older aged folks. Data also pointed out that these two conditions were more frequent in women and middle-aged groups and more common in higher socioeconomic indexed countries. (1) Not counting low back pain, neck pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis, the same Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 stated that “other musculoskeletal disorders” rose by 123.4% from 221 million to 494 million people from 1990 to 2019. With over 150 different conditions impacting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and the spine under the umbrella of “other musculoskeletal disorders,” health loss comprising death and disability due to musculoskeletal disorders is estimated to continue its growth. From 2020 to 2050, it is estimated to increase by 115% to 1060 million cases. More women are impacted by 47.4% than men. The prevalence of these disorders peaked between 65 and 69 old for both men and women. (2) We at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation see all sorts of spine related musculoskeletal disorders as well as back pain and neck pain. Studies like these inspire us to keep up with spine research to assist you, our Tonawanda chiropractic patient, in the best possible way.

UNDERSTANDING STANDING AND BACK PAIN

Back pain and neck pain are definitely two of our most typical painful spinal conditions at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation…and standing is a daily requisite! Everyone’s spine is a little different. How we each stand is a bit different…and that matters! A new study found that bigger variations in lumbar lordosis (spinal curvature) like upright standing posture with a bit more extension or more noticeable curve like kyphosis may well have a bearing musculoskeletal response as far as spinal loading and trunk muscle force. (3) We encourage thinking about good posture which can beneficially influence your actually having good posture which includes standing up straight.

UNDERSTANDING SITTING AND BACK PAIN

And sitting is another activity of daily living that we all do often without any thought (until pain makes us to think about it constantly!). In a new study, researchers found that unsupported sitting intensified intradiscal pressure by about 30% in comparison to upright standing. Intradiscal pressures were higher for sitting than standing when back angles were less than 20 degrees and higher for standing than sitting when the angles were greater than 20 degrees. Knowing these types of spinal responses are vital in the world of occupational health where lumbar musculoskeletal disorders are a major problem.
