Juneau Chiropractic Care for Spine and Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Pain causes us to be a bit self-centered instead of life-centered which is completely logical and logically global. People around the world suffer with pain, back pain, neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, a great deal of which is spine-centered. Luckily, Juneau chiropractic care is locally available to help contain as well as alleviate spine-related pain.
GLOBAL IMPACT OF SPINE AND MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN CONDITIONS
Data from an international study that monitored spine pain (neck pain and low back pain) sufferers from 1990 to 2019 found that the “years lived with disabilities,” incidence, and prevalence of both conditions rose significantly. Globally, neck pain and low back pain were noted to burden public health significantly, particularly as people age, being most problematic in middle and older aged folks. Data also pointed out that these two conditions were more frequent in women and middle-aged groups and more frequent in higher socioeconomic indexed countries. (1) Not counting low back pain, neck pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis, the same Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 conveyed that “other musculoskeletal disorders” grew by 123.4% from 221 million to 494 million people from 1990 to 2019. With over 150 different conditions impacting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and the spine under the umbrella of “other musculoskeletal disorders,” health loss incorporating death and disability due to musculoskeletal disorders is estimated to keep growing. From 2020 to 2050, it is predicted to rise by 115% to 1060 million cases. More women are affected by 47.4% than men. The prevalence of these disorders topped out between 65 and 69 old for both men and women.

Studies like these inspire us to keep up with spine research to help you, our Juneau chiropractic patient, best.
UNDERSTANDING STANDING AND BACK PAIN
Neck pain and back pain are definitely two of our most common painful spinal conditions at Aurora Chiropractic Center…and standing is a daily requisite! Everyone’s spine is a bit different. How we each stand is a bit different…and that matters! A new study found that bigger variations in lumbar lordosis (spinal curvature) like upright standing posture in a little more extension or more prominent curve like kyphosis may well impact musculoskeletal reaction as far as spinal loading and trunk muscle force. (3) We encourage thinking about good posture which can positively affect your actually having good posture which includes standing up straight.
UNDERSTANDING SITTING AND BACK PAIN
And sitting is another activity of daily living that we all do often without any thought (until pain forces us to think about it constantly!). In a new study, researchers wrote that unsupported sitting increased intradiscal pressure by about 30% in comparison to upright standing. Intradiscal pressures were greater for sitting than standing when back angles were less than 20 degrees and higher for standing than sitting when the angles were more than 20 degrees. Knowing about spinal responses like these are important in the world of occupational health where lumbar musculoskeletal disorders are a major problem.
