Montreal Chiropractic Care for Spine and Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Pain causes us to be a bit self-centered instead of life-centered which is perfectly logical and logically global. People around the world suffer with pain, back pain, neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, much of which is spine-centered. Fortunately, Montreal chiropractic care is locally accessible to help manage as well as ease spine-related pain.
GLOBAL IMPACT OF SPINE AND MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN CONDITIONS
Data from an international study that tracked spine pain (neck pain and low back pain) sufferers from 1990 to 2019 revealed that the “years lived with disabilities,” incidence, and prevalence of both conditions rose significantly. Globally, neck pain and low back pain were observed to burden public health significantly, particularly as people get older, being most problematic in middle age and older. Data also pointed out that these two conditions were more common in women and middle-aged groups and more frequent in higher socioeconomic indexed countries. (1) Beyond low back pain, neck pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis, the same Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 reported that “other musculoskeletal disorders” rose 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 including death and disability due to musculoskeletal disorders is estimated to keep growing. From 2020 to 2050, it is estimated 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 stay current with spine research to help you, our Montreal chiropractic patient, best.
UNDERSTANDING STANDING AND BACK PAIN
Neck pain and back pain are certainly two of our most common painful spinal conditions at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic…and standing is a daily necessity! Everyone’s spine is a bit different. How we each stand is a bit different…and that matters! A new study recorded greater variations in lumbar lordosis (spinal curvature) like upright standing posture with a bit more extension or more prominent curve like kyphosis may well impact musculoskeletal reaction as far as spinal loading and trunk muscle force. (3) We urge our patients to think about good posture which can positively influence your actually having good posture including 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 makes us to think about it constantly!). In a recent study, researchers wrote that unsupported sitting intensified intradiscal pressure by about 30% compared 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 greater than 20 degrees. Knowing about spinal responses like these are critical in the world of occupational health where lumbar musculoskeletal disorders are a major problem.
