What Factors Play A Role in Juneau Back Pain, Arm Pain And Leg Pain?
Your Juneau chiropractor is always on alert for interesting ways to answer Juneau back pain patients’ questions. Juneau back pain patients like easy answers. Your Juneau chiropractor at Aurora Chiropractic Center does, too. Check out these factors that guide your relief of Juneau back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Juneau low back pain (LBP) is a huge 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, additional 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 seen. Abnormal spine mobility is affiliated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) (2), and MetS involves a collection of cardiovascular risk factors (insulin resistance, hypertension, glucose intolerance, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia. (7) DMS and MetS are linked in six domains: elevated body fat, declined muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait speed, and balance issues. Particularly, insulin resistance was related to higher body fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study showed a compelling relationship between DMS and the existence 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. Juneau back pain patients are like them! These findings might support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection hypothesis. (3) Aurora Chiropractic Center helps Juneau chiropractic patients with Juneau back pain relief and with their desire to address complicating metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Aurora Chiropractic Center urges Juneau 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 of an average age of 21 with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy program, performed 60 minutes once a week, showed improved pain and disability and intensified spine muscle endurance. This report confirmed that a 9-week progressive exercise therapy program can enhance physical health and reduce the incidence of cervical disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal pain. (4) Aurora Chiropractic Center emphasizes that exercise is effective!
BALANCE CONTROL
Juneau back pain in older folks effectively reduces balance ability. Aurora Chiropractic Center doesn’t view this as a good thing! These patients showed decreased dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance control causing a deficit 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) Aurora Chiropractic Center certainly evaluates Juneau back pain patients for problems with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
One more thought-provoking issue 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) Aurora Chiropractic Center finds this interesting, but it is documented!
