Montreal athletes – young and older alike – dislike being sidelined from their sports. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic understands this! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic offers individualized, useful Montreal chiropractic treatment plans to get athletes experiencing back pain to their activities with more awareness of prevention and rehabilitation tips to escape future back pain and keep doing what they love to do.
YOUTH ATHLETES, THEIR SPORTS, AND SPONDYLOLYSIS BACK PAIN
Back pain may grip young athletes in a range of sports. Researchers suggest that the young person or adolescent with low back pain and back muscle spasm should be followed carefully for heightened risk of pars interarticularis fracture associated with spondylolisthesis and spondylolysis. (1) In a new study of 1025 adolescent athletes with low back pain, 30% of them was affected by spondylolysis. By sport, males’ top 3 sports with increased risk were baseball (54%), soccer (48%), and hockey (44%). Females’ top three sports were gymnastics (34%), marching band (31%), and softball (30%). Geography and level of athletic prowess may significantly impact the risk of spondylolysis in athletes. (2) This tells Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic that athletes of all ages and all sports deserve attention when suffering with Montreal back pain.
MOTIONS INFLUENCING SPONDYLOLYSIS
Montreal back pain sufferers frequently comment that their back pain came on after a particular really non-hurtful move. That’s not uncommon! Past research studies usually indicated that repetitive motion of the lumbar spine into extension, rotation or a combination of these to be important risk factors for spondylolysis. Such motions were seen in baseball batting or pitching practice, soccer shooting practice, and volleyball spiking practice. Running track and field doesn’t require such motions, and running athletes are seen with spondylolysis pushing researchers to determine why. They found that the spinopelvic angles in athletes who run are similar to the above sports’ athletes, putting them in danger of mechanical stress on the pars interarticularis, too, leading to spondylolysis.

GLUCOSAMINE SUPPLEMENTATION BENEFITS FOR ALL
A new paper explained that endurance athletes has intense joint-loading leading to cartilage metabolism and type II collagen degradation. The type II collagen degradation in soccer and rugby players was elevated suggesting enhanced cartilage metabolism compared to that of non-athletes while type II collagen synthesis was nearly equivalent. Glucosamine – a type II collagen – delivered a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by blocking type II collagen degradation.
