Your West Palm Beach chiropractor is always
looking for relatable stories to answer
West Palm Beach back pain patients’ questions. West Palm Beach back pain
patients like easy answers. Your West Palm Beach chiropractor at
Chiropractic Care does, too. Check out these factors that guide
your relief of West Palm Beach back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific West Palm Beach low back pain (LBP) presents
a major socioeconomic problem even though the
mechanisms are not yet clear. Impaired motor control is
one of the mechanisms which was indicated by a reduced
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 reflected in greater
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 associated
in six ways: increased body fat, reduced
muscle mass, reduced muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance problems. Particularly, insulin
resistance was correlated to higher body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study showed
a strong relationship between DMS and the presence
of MetS and its factors 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. West Palm Beach back pain patients are like them! These discoveries may
well support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Chiropractic Care helps West Palm Beach chiropractic patients
with West Palm Beach back pain relief and with their wish to address
complicating metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Chiropractic Care encourages West Palm Beach
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 aged 21 average
with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy
program, used 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 enhance physical
health and decrease the incidence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young people with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) Chiropractic Care highlights that exercise is effective!
BALANCE CONTROL
West Palm Beach back pain in older folks successfully lowers balance ability.
Chiropractic Care does not view this as a good
event! These patients exhibited decreased
reliance on ankle and hip strategy for balance
control giving rise to a discrepancy
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) Chiropractic Care definitely
tests West Palm Beach back pain patients for problems
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
One more interesting
finding is low hand grip strength in women aged
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly related to the existence of low back pain. (6) Chiropractic Care
finds this interesting, but it’s published!
