Your Pensacola chiropractor is always
looking for interesting ways to address
Pensacola back pain patients’ questions. Pensacola back pain
patients like simple answers. Your Pensacola chiropractor at
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center does, too. Read more about these factors that guide
your relief of Pensacola back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Pensacola low back pain (LBP) presents
a major socioeconomic problem although the
mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Impaired motor control is
one of the mechanisms which was indicated by a lower
movement amplitude of the pelvis, additional in-phase coordination,
lower ground reaction forces, higher stride-to-stride variability
and an elevated activity 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 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 domains: increased body fat, reduced
muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance issues. Notably, insulin
resistance was correlated to higher body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study demonstrated
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. Pensacola back pain patients are share the same
issues! These findings may
well support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center helps Pensacola chiropractic patients
with Pensacola back pain relief and with their wish to fix
confounding metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center encourages Pensacola
chiropractic patients to exercise even doing something as simple as walk. Researchers 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 once a week, revealed
enhanced 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 incidence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young people with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center emphasizes that exercise is helpful!
BALANCE CONTROL
Pensacola back pain in elderly successfully lowers balance ability.
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center does not see this as a beneficial
thing! These patients presented decreased
dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance
control resulting in 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) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center definitely
checks Pensacola back pain patients for problems
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
Another interesting
finding 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) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center
finds this curious, but it is published!
