Your Baton Rouge chiropractor is always
on alert for interesting ways to answer
Baton Rouge back pain patients’ questions. Baton Rouge back pain
patients like easy answers. Your Baton Rouge chiropractor at
Spine & Sports Rehab Center does, too. Check out these factors that influence
your relief of Baton Rouge back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Baton Rouge low back pain (LBP) is
a major socioeconomic problem although the
mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Impaired motor control is
one of the mechanisms which was indicated by a reduced
movement amplitude of the pelvis, more in-phase coordination,
lower ground reaction forces, greater stride-to-stride variability
and an elevated action 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 observed.
Abnormal spine mobility is affiliated 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 linked
in six ways: elevated body fat, declined
muscle mass, reduced muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance issues. Notably, insulin
resistance was related to increased body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study showed
a compelling relationship between DMS and the existence
of MetS and its components 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. Baton Rouge back pain patients are share the same
issues! These discoveries might support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) Spine & Sports Rehab Center helps Baton Rouge chiropractic patients
with Baton Rouge back pain relief and with their wish to address
confounding metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Spine & Sports Rehab Center encourages Baton Rouge
chiropractic patients to exercise even simple
walking. Researchers evaluated the effects
of an exercise therapy program on pain and physical dimension of health-related
quality of life for 57 young adults of an average age of 21
with musculoskeletal pain. A nine-week stabilization exercise therapy
program, performed 60 minutes weekly, revealed
enhanced pain and disability and increased
spine muscle endurance. This report revealed that a
9-week progressive exercise therapy program can enhance physical
health and reduce the prevalence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) Spine & Sports Rehab Center emphasizes that exercise is helpful!
BALANCE CONTROL
Baton Rouge back pain in elderly effectively lowers balance ability.
Spine & Sports Rehab Center doesn’t see this as a good
event! These patients showed decreased
dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance
control resulting in a deficit
of postural control from proprioceptive impairment. Also, elderly
patients with low back pain are at higher risk for lower leg
proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Spine & Sports Rehab Center definitely
evaluates Baton Rouge back pain patients for problems
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
One more stimulating
issue is low hand grip strength in women who are
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly related to the existence of low back pain. (6) Spine & Sports Rehab Center
finds this interesting, but it’s documented!
