Back Pain Changes Juneau Spinal Movement

Any Juneau back pain sufferer will agree: back pain changes movement. Sitting down takes more time. Standing up is slower. Bending over takes lots of thought…or causes total avoidance. Aurora Chiropractic Center knows back pain changes motions. Researchers keep studying just how and how much it changes motion. With chiropractic care, your Juneau chiropractor aims to help you regain the ease of movement you had before you experienced back pain.

SPINAL MOVEMENT ALTERED BY BACK PAIN

Back pain patients move differently. They often change the way they move to evade pain. They will walk differently. They turn around differently. Their spinal kinematics – motions – are different. A recent study reviewed over 800 papers on the subject of altered kinematics. The authors wound up stating that restricted lumbar spinal mobility in all planes caused by low back pain was statistically significant. (1) Another study concluded that the kind of spinal disorder a patient impacted the biomechanics of the sit-to-stand movement. Patients with spinal deformity-related back pain showed greater differences in a variety of biomechanical motions (like hip, spine, and knee torque) compared to patients with non-specific low back pain. (2) Figuring out just how much spinal kinematics are impacted by back pain is the job your Juneau chiropractor relishes most.

TESTING SPINAL MOVEMENT

When healthcare professional like your Juneau chiropractor examine new low back pain patients, tests like sit-to-stand that assess our new patients’ ability to perform motions that daily activities demand are valuable. Patients with low back pain reveal 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 performing diverse repetitive functional tasks like flexion, extension, lifting, walking, sit-to-stand-to-sit motions. (5) The chiropractic spinal examination at Aurora Chiropractic Center is systematic to record just how much low back pain is affecting your daily activities with a goal to get you back to doing them again with the least possible trouble.
