Your Sitka chiropractor is always
on alert for relatable ways to address
Sitka back pain patients’ questions. Sitka back pain
patients like easy answers. Your Sitka chiropractor at
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka does, too. Read more about these factors that influence
your relief of Sitka back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Sitka low back pain (LBP) poses
a major socioeconomic problem even though the
mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Impaired motor control is
one of the mechanisms which was indicated by a reduced
movement amplitude of the pelvis, additional in-phase coordination,
lower ground reaction forces, higher stride-to-stride variability
and a higher activity in spine muscles.
Impaired motor control during walking is reflected in greater
activity of the spine muscles which results in 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 associated with 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 related
in six domains: increased body fat, reduced
muscle mass, reduced muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance problems. Notably, insulin
resistance was linked to higher body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study showed
a strong relationship between DMS and the presence
of MetS and its components in the elderly population. (2)
Further, 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. Sitka back pain patients are share the same
issues! These findings may
well support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka helps Sitka chiropractic patients
with Sitka back pain relief and with their wish to address
confounding metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka urges Sitka
chiropractic patients to exercise even doing something as simple as walk. A study assessed the outcomes
of an exercise therapy program on pain and physical dimension of health-related
quality of life for 57 young adults aged 21 average
with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy
program, performed 60 minutes weekly, revealed
improved pain and disability and intensified
spine muscle endurance. This study confirmed that a
9-week progressive exercise therapy program can enhance physical
health and decrease the prevalence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka emphasizes that exercise is effective!
BALANCE CONTROL
Sitka back pain in older folks effectively reduces balance ability.
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka doesn’t view this as a good
event! These patients showed decreased
dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance
control giving rise to a deficit
of postural control from proprioceptive impairment. Moreover, older
patients with low back pain are at increased risk for lower leg
proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka definitely
tests Sitka back pain patients for issues
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
One more stimulating
issue is low hand grip strength in women who are
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly associated
with the presence of low back pain. (6) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
see this as this interesting, but it’s documented!
