What Factors Play A Role in Montreal Back Pain, Arm Pain And Leg Pain?
Your Montreal chiropractor is always looking for interesting stories to address Montreal back pain patients’ questions. Montreal back pain patients like easy answers. Your Montreal chiropractor at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic does, too. Check out these factors that influence your relief of Montreal back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Montreal low back pain (LBP) poses a huge socioeconomic problem although the mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Impaired motor control is one issue 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 motion in spine muscles. Impaired motor control during walking is reflected in higher 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 observed. 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 linked in six ways: increased body fat, declined muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait speed, and balance issues. Notably, insulin resistance was linked to higher body fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study revealed 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. Montreal back pain patients are similar to them! These findings might back the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection hypothesis. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic helps Montreal chiropractic patients with Montreal back pain relief and with their desire to fix complicating metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic encourages Montreal chiropractic patients to exercise even doing something as simple as walk. A study 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, used 60 minutes weekly, revealed enhanced pain and disability and intensified spine muscle endurance. This report confirmed that a 9-week progressive exercise therapy program can improve physical health and reduce the prevalence of cervical disability and low back pain in young people with musculoskeletal pain. (4) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic emphasizes that exercise is helpful!
BALANCE CONTROL
Montreal back pain in elderly effectively reduces balance ability. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic doesn’t view this as a good thing! These patients exhibited decreased reliance on ankle and hip strategy for balance control causing a deficit of postural control from proprioceptive impairment. Moreover, older patients with low back pain are at increased risk for lower leg proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic definitely evaluates Montreal back pain patients for problems with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
Another stimulating finding is low hand grip strength in women who are over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly associated with the existence of low back pain. (6) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic finds this curious, but it’s published!
