Your Sandy Springs chiropractor is continually
on alert for relatable stories to address
Sandy Springs back pain patients’ questions. Sandy Springs back pain
patients like easy answers. Your Sandy Springs chiropractor at
Cross Chiropractic Center does, too. Read more about these factors that guide
your relief of Sandy Springs back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Sandy Springs low back pain (LBP) poses
a major socioeconomic problem even though the
mechanisms are not yet clear. 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, higher 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 seen.
Abnormal spine mobility is affiliated with 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 associated
in six domains: elevated body fat, declined
muscle mass, reduced muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance issues. Particularly, insulin
resistance was related to higher body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study revealed
a strong relationship between DMS and the presence
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. Sandy Springs back pain patients are similar to them! These discoveries may
well back the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Cross Chiropractic Center helps Sandy Springs chiropractic patients
with Sandy Springs back pain relief and with their desire to fix
complicating metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Cross Chiropractic Center urges Sandy Springs
chiropractic patients to exercise even doing something as simple as walk. A study 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 nine-week stabilization exercise therapy
program, used 60 minutes weekly, showed
enhanced pain and disability and intensified
spine muscle endurance. This report 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) Cross Chiropractic Center emphasizes that exercise is helpful!
BALANCE CONTROL
Sandy Springs back pain in elderly successfully reduces balance ability.
Cross Chiropractic Center does not see this as a beneficial
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. Also, older
patients with low back pain are at higher risk for lower leg
proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Cross Chiropractic Center definitely
checks Sandy Springs back pain patients for issues
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
One more thought-provoking
issue is low hand grip strength in women who are
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly associated
with the presence of low back pain. (6) Cross Chiropractic Center
finds this interesting, but it’s documented!
