Back Pain Changes Montreal Spinal Movement

Any Montreal back pain sufferer will agree: back pain affects movement. Sitting down takes more time. Standing up is slower. Bending over requires some thought…or prompts total avoidance. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows back pain alters motions. Researchers keep studying just how and how much it alters motion. With chiropractic care, your Montreal chiropractor is focused on helping you get back 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 prevent pain. They will walk differently. They bend differently. Their spinal kinematics – motions – are different. A recent study reviewed over 800 papers on the subject of altered kinematics. The authors asserted that the limitation of lumbar spinal mobility in all planes caused by low back pain was statistically significant. (1) Another study found that the kind of spinal disorder a patient impacted the biomechanics of the sit-to-stand activity. Patients with spinal deformity-related back pain demonstrated greater differences in a variety of biomechanical motions (like hip, spine, and knee torque) weighed against patients with non-specific low back pain. (2) Determining just how much spinal kinematics are affected by back pain is the job your Montreal chiropractor relishes most.

TESTING SPINAL MOVEMENT

When healthcare professional like your Montreal chiropractor examine new low back pain patients, tests like sit-to-stand that assess our new patients’ ability to carry out motions demanded by activities of daily living are valuable. Patients with low back pain exhibit greatly 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 Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is systematic to record just how much low back pain is impeding your daily activities with a goal to get you back to doing them again with the least possible difficulty.
