Your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor is continually
looking for relatable stories to address
Burlington and Hamilton back pain patients’ questions. Burlington and Hamilton back pain
patients like easy answers. Your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor at
Spinal Care Clinic does, too. Check out these factors that influence
your relief of Burlington and Hamilton back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Burlington and Hamilton low back pain (LBP) is
a major socioeconomic problem even though the
mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Impaired motor control is
one of the mechanisms which was shown by a lower
movement amplitude of the pelvis, more in-phase coordination,
lower ground reaction forces, greater stride-to-stride variability
and a higher motion in spine muscles.
Impaired motor control during walking is reflected in greater
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 observed.
Abnormal spine mobility is linked to metabolic
syndrome (MetS) (2), and MetS encompasses a collection
of cardiovascular risk factors (insulin resistance, hypertension, glucose
intolerance, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia. (7) DMS and MetS are related
in six domains: elevated body fat, reduced
muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance issues. Particularly, insulin
resistance was linked to higher body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This research revealed
a strong relationship between DMS and the existence
of MetS and its mechanisms 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. Burlington and Hamilton back pain patients are like them! These findings might support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Spinal Care Clinic helps Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic patients
with Burlington and Hamilton back pain relief and with their wish to fix
confounding metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Spinal Care Clinic urges Burlington and Hamilton
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 aged 21 average
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 study confirmed that a
9-week progressive exercise therapy program can improve physical
health and decrease the prevalence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) Spinal Care Clinic emphasizes that exercise is effective!
BALANCE CONTROL
Burlington and Hamilton back pain in elderly effectively lowers balance ability.
Spinal Care Clinic does not see this as a good
event! These patients presented reduced
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 higher risk for lower leg
proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Spinal Care Clinic definitely
evaluates Burlington and Hamilton back pain patients for issues
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
One more interesting
issue is low hand grip strength in women aged
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly associated
with the existence of low back pain. (6) Spinal Care Clinic
finds this interesting, but it’s published!
