Your Fort Wayne chiropractor is always
looking for interesting ways to answer
Fort Wayne back pain patients’ questions. Fort Wayne back pain
patients like simple answers. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor at
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc does, too. Check out these factors that guide
your relief of Fort Wayne back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Fort Wayne low back pain (LBP) poses
a huge socioeconomic problem although the
mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Impaired motor control is
one issue which was indicated by a reduced
movement amplitude of the pelvis, more in-phase coordination,
lower ground reaction forces, higher stride-to-stride variability
and a higher action 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 observed.
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 related
in six ways: elevated body fat, reduced
muscle mass, reduced muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance issues. Particularly, insulin
resistance was related to increased 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)
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. Fort Wayne back pain patients are like them! These discoveries might support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc helps Fort Wayne chiropractic patients
with Fort Wayne back pain relief and with their wish to fix
complicating metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc urges Fort Wayne
chiropractic patients to exercise even doing something as simple as walk. Researchers 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, revealed
enhanced pain and disability and increased
spine muscle endurance. This study confirmed that a
9-week progressive exercise therapy program can enhance physical
health and decrease the prevalence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young people with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc highlights that exercise is effective!
BALANCE CONTROL
Fort Wayne back pain in elderly successfully reduces balance ability.
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc does not see this as a good
event! These patients exhibited reduced
dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance
control causing a deficit
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) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc certainly
checks Fort Wayne back pain patients for issues
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
Another stimulating
finding is low hand grip strength in women aged
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly associated
with the presence of low back pain. (6) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
finds this curious, but it is published!
