Your Manchester chiropractor is always
looking for interesting ways to address
Manchester back pain patients’ questions. Manchester back pain
patients like simple answers. Your Manchester chiropractor at
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries does, too. Read more about these factors that influence
your relief of Manchester back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Manchester low back pain (LBP) is
a huge socioeconomic problem even though the
mechanisms are not yet clear. 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, greater stride-to-stride variability
and an elevated motion in spine muscles.
Impaired motor control during walking is indicated by 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 observed.
Abnormal spine mobility is associated 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 related
in six domains: elevated body fat, reduced
muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance issues. Notably, insulin
resistance was linked to increased body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study revealed
a strong relationship between DMS and the existence
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. Manchester back pain patients are like them! These findings may
well support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries helps Manchester chiropractic patients
with Manchester back pain relief and with their wish to address
complicating metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries urges Manchester
chiropractic patients to exercise even doing something as simple as walk. A study evaluated 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, used 60 minutes weekly, showed
improved pain and disability and intensified
spine muscle endurance. This report revealed that a
9-week progressive exercise therapy program can improve physical
health and decrease the prevalence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries emphasizes that exercise is helpful!
BALANCE CONTROL
Manchester back pain in elderly effectively lowers balance ability.
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries doesn’t view this as a good
thing! These patients showed reduced
dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance
control causing 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) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries certainly
evaluates Manchester back pain patients for problems
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
Another stimulating
finding is low hand grip strength in women who are
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly related to the presence of low back pain. (6) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries
finds this interesting, but it is published!
