Your Manahawkin chiropractor is continually
looking for relatable stories to answer
Manahawkin back pain patients’ questions. Manahawkin back pain
patients like easy answers. Your Manahawkin chiropractor at
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center does, too. Check out these factors that guide
your relief of Manahawkin back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Manahawkin low back pain (LBP) poses
a huge socioeconomic problem even though the
mechanisms are not yet clear. Impaired motor control is
one issue which was shown by a lower
movement amplitude of the pelvis, additional 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 indicated by higher
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 involves a collection
of cardiovascular risk factors (insulin resistance, hypertension, glucose
intolerance, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia. (7) DMS and MetS are linked
in six domains: increased body fat, reduced
muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance issues. Notably, insulin
resistance was linked to higher body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study showed
a compelling relationship between DMS and the presence
of MetS and its components in the elderly population. (2)
Additionally, 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. Manahawkin back pain patients are share the same
issues! These discoveries may
well support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center helps Manahawkin chiropractic patients
with Manahawkin back pain relief and with their desire to address
complicating metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center encourages Manahawkin
chiropractic patients to exercise even simple
walking. Researchers assessed the effects
of an exercise therapy program on pain and physical dimension of health-related
quality of life for 57 young adults of an average age of 21
with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy
program, performed 60 minutes once a week, revealed
improved pain and disability and increased
spine muscle endurance. This study revealed that a
9-week progressive exercise therapy program can improve physical
health and decrease the incidence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center emphasizes that exercise is helpful!
BALANCE CONTROL
Manahawkin back pain in older folks successfully lowers balance ability.
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center doesn’t see this as a good
thing! These patients presented decreased
dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance
control resulting in a deficit
of postural control from proprioceptive impairment. Moreover, elderly
patients with low back pain are at increased risk for lower leg
proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center certainly
tests Manahawkin back pain patients for issues
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
One more interesting
finding is low hand grip strength in women who are
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly related to the presence of low back pain. (6) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
see this as this interesting, but it’s published!
