What Factors Play A Role in Richmond Back Pain, Arm Pain And Leg Pain?

Your Richmond chiropractor is continually on alert for relatable ways to answer Richmond back pain patients’ questions. Richmond back pain patients like easy answers. Your Richmond chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic does, too. Check out these factors that guide your relief of Richmond back pain, arm and leg pain.

CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE

Chronic non-specific Richmond low back pain (LBP) presents a major socioeconomic problem although the mechanisms are not yet clear. Impaired motor control is one of the mechanisms which was shown by a lower movement amplitude of the pelvis, additional in-phase coordination, lower ground reaction forces, greater stride-to-stride variability and an elevated activity in spine muscles. Impaired motor control during walking is indicated by greater 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 seen. Abnormal spine mobility is linked to metabolic syndrome (MetS) (2), and MetS involves a grouping of cardiovascular risk factors (insulin resistance, hypertension, glucose intolerance, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia. (7) DMS and MetS are associated in six domains: increased body fat, reduced 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 demonstrated a strong relationship between DMS and the existence of MetS and its components in the elderly population. (2) Additionally, 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. Richmond back pain patients are share the same issues! These discoveries may well support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection hypothesis.

EXERCISE

Johnson Chiropractic urges Richmond 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 aged 21 average with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy program, used 60 minutes weekly, showed 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 decrease the prevalence of cervical disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal pain.

BALANCE CONTROL

Richmond back pain in elderly effectively reduces balance ability. Johnson Chiropractic does not view this as a beneficial thing! These patients exhibited 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) Johnson Chiropractic definitely tests Richmond back pain patients for issues with balance.

HAND GRIP STRENGTH

One more stimulating 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) Johnson Chiropractic see this as this curious, but it’s documented!
