Your Plainville chiropractor is always
on alert for relatable stories to answer
Plainville back pain patients’ questions. Plainville back pain
patients like simple answers. Your Plainville chiropractor at
Layden Chiropractic does, too. Read more about these factors that guide
your relief of Plainville back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Plainville low back pain (LBP) presents
a huge socioeconomic problem even though the
mechanisms are not yet clear. Impaired motor control is
one issue which was indicated by a lower
movement amplitude of the pelvis, additional in-phase coordination,
lower ground reaction forces, greater stride-to-stride variability
and an elevated motion 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 encompasses a grouping
of cardiovascular risk factors (insulin resistance, hypertension, glucose
intolerance, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia. (7) DMS and MetS are linked
in six ways: elevated body fat, declined
muscle mass, reduced muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance issues. Particularly, insulin
resistance was correlated to higher body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This research demonstrated
a strong relationship between DMS and the presence
of MetS and its factors 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. Plainville back pain patients are like them! These findings may
well back the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Layden Chiropractic helps Plainville chiropractic patients
with Plainville back pain relief and with their desire to fix
confounding metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Layden Chiropractic encourages Plainville
chiropractic patients to exercise even simple
walking. 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 of an average age of 21
with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy
program, used 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 reduce the prevalence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) Layden Chiropractic emphasizes that exercise is helpful!
BALANCE CONTROL
Plainville back pain in older folks effectively reduces balance ability.
Layden Chiropractic doesn’t see this as a good
thing! These patients presented reduced
reliance on ankle and hip strategy for balance
control causing a discrepancy
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) Layden Chiropractic certainly
evaluates Plainville back pain patients for problems
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
Another stimulating
issue is low hand grip strength in women who are
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly associated
with the existence of low back pain. (6) Layden Chiropractic
see this as this interesting, but it is documented!
