Back Pain Changes Fort Wayne Spinal Movement

Ask any Fort Wayne back pain sufferer, and s/he will agree: back pain affects movement. Sitting down takes more time. Standing up is slower. Bending over takes lots of thought…or triggers total avoidance. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc knows back pain changes motions. Researchers keep studying just how and how much it changes motion. With chiropractic care, your Fort Wayne chiropractor is focused on helping you get back the simplicity of movement you had before you experienced back pain.

SPINAL MOVEMENT ALTERED BY BACK PAIN

Patients with low back pain move differently. They often alter the way they move to evade pain. They’ll walk differently. They turn around differently. Their spinal kinematics – motions – are unusual. A recent study analyzed over 800 papers on the subject of altered kinematics. The authors concluded that restricted lumbar spinal mobility in all planes brought on by low back pain was statistically significant. (1) Another study concluded that the type of spinal disorder a patient impacted the biomechanics of the sit-to-stand activity. Patients with spinal deformity-related back pain showed greater differences in a variety of biomechanical motions (like hip, spine, and knee torque) weighed against patients with non-specific low back pain. (2) Determining just how much spinal kinematics are impacted by back pain is the job your Fort Wayne chiropractor enjoys most.

TESTING SPINAL MOVEMENT

When healthcare providers like your Fort Wayne chiropractor evaluate new low back pain patients, tests like sit-to-stand that assess our new patients’ ability to carry out motions that daily activities demand are valuable. Patients with low back pain show considerably altered kinematics, motions, of the spine. (3) Patients with low back pain showed motion changes in the lumbar spine, hip and trunk. (4) Chronic non-specific low back pain sufferers exhibited altered motor adaptability while doing various repetitive functional tasks like flexion, extension, lifting, walking, sit-to-stand-to-sit motions. (5) The chiropractic spinal examination at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is thorough to record the extent to which low back pain is impeding your daily activities in order to return you to your activities of daily living with the least possible trouble.
