Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Cautions Back Pain Sufferers About Lifting and Flexion
Controversy. There’s oftentimes controversy in medicine. Controversy can also move medicine toward clarity. Such is the case of flexed lifting and its impact on your spine. Your Tonawanda chiropractor cautions Tonawanda back pain patients to carefully bend, lift and twist as these create low back pain for lots of us. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation still does. Recent studies describe more about the effects of flexion and lifting on the spine and its experience of back pain.
FLEXION LIFTING: NO INFLUENCE
A new research study analyzed numerous studies about the effect of lumbar spine flexion lifting and its influence on low back pain onset/persistence. Researchers found that lumbar spine flexion lifting wasn’t a differentiator for people with and without low back pain. These investigations were not specific as to categories of people. They looked at two types of people: those with and those without back pain. (1) Other research projects studied specific kinds of people.
FLEXION LIFTING: INFLUENTIAL FOR WORKERS
Researchers decided that the result of forward bending on low back pain depended on the type of job, gender and other such particular factors of workers. They noticed that construction workers’ experience of low back pain was not affected by the quantity of time they spent bending forward. They discovered that healthcare workers’ experience of low back pain was affected by the angle of forward bending (more than or equal to 30 degrees triggered low back pain while over 60 degree didn’t). (2) Warehouse workers’ experience of low back pain is affected by their lifting capacity and psychosocial work environment. Researchers texted workers asking about their low back pain, mental stress, and bodily fatigue over the course of 3 weeks then at one year. They anticipated that a better design of the work week (work days vs rest days) and a set reasonable maximum lifting threshold per day will help prevent low back pain and reduce stress.
