Back Pain Changes Manahawkin Spinal Movement

Ask any Manahawkin back pain sufferer, and s/he will agree: back pain changes movement. Sitting down takes more time. Standing up is slower. Bending over requires some thought…or causes total avoidance. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows back pain alters motions. Researchers continue to study just how and how much it changes motion. With chiropractic care, your Manahawkin chiropractor aims to help you get back the simplicity of movement you had before you experienced back pain.

SPINAL MOVEMENT ALTERED BY BACK PAIN

Back pain patients move differently. They often alter the way they move to evade pain. They will walk differently. They turn around differently. Their spinal kinematics – motions – are different. A recent study analyzed over 800 papers on this topic of altered kinematics. The authors wound up stating that restricted lumbar spinal mobility in all planes brought on by low back pain was statistically significant. (1) Another study concluded that the type of spinal disorder a patient impacted the biomechanics of the sit-to-stand activity. Patients with spinal deformity-related back pain showed greater differences in an array of biomechanical motions (like hip, spine, and knee torque) compared to patients with non-specific low back pain. (2) Determining just how much spinal kinematics are affected by back pain is the job your Manahawkin chiropractor relishes most.

TESTING SPINAL MOVEMENT

When healthcare professional like your Manahawkin chiropractor analyze new low back pain patients, tests like sit-to-stand that assess our new patients’ ability to perform motions that daily activities demand are valuable. Patients with low back pain reveal considerably altered kinematics, motions, of the spine. (3) Patients with low back pain showed motion changes in the lumbar spine, hip and trunk. (4) Chronic non-specific low back pain sufferers exhibited altered motor adaptability while doing various repetitive functional tasks like flexion, extension, lifting, walking, sit-to-stand-to-sit motions. (5) The chiropractic spinal examination at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is systematic to record just how much low back pain is affecting your daily activities in order to return you to your activities of daily living with the least possible difficulty.
