What Factors Play A Role in Ashburn and Herndon Back Pain, Arm Pain And Leg Pain?

December 25, 2018

Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor is continually on alert for relatable stories to address Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients’ questions. Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients like simple answers. Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn does, too. Read more about these factors that influence your relief of Ashburn and Herndon back pain, arm and leg pain.

CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE

Chronic non-specific Ashburn and Herndon low back pain (LBP) poses a huge socioeconomic problem even though the mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Impaired motor control is one of the mechanisms which was shown by a reduced movement amplitude of the pelvis, more in-phase coordination, lower ground reaction forces, higher stride-to-stride variability and a higher activity in spine muscles. Impaired motor control during walking is reflected in greater 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 seen. Abnormal spine mobility is affiliated with 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 domains: elevated body fat, reduced muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait speed, and balance issues. Particularly, insulin resistance was linked to increased body fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study demonstrated a strong relationship between DMS and the presence 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. Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients are share the same issues! These findings might back the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection hypothesis. (3) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn helps Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients with Ashburn and Herndon back pain relief and with their desire to address complicating metabolic issues.

EXERCISE

Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn urges Ashburn and Herndon 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 aged 21 average with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy program, performed 60 minutes once a week, revealed 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 incidence of cervical disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal pain. (4) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn emphasizes that exercise is helpful!

BALANCE CONTROL

Ashburn and Herndon back pain in elderly successfully reduces balance ability. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn does not see this as a good event! These patients presented reduced 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 higher risk for lower leg proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn definitely checks Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients for issues with balance.

HAND GRIP STRENGTH

Another thought-provoking issue is low hand grip strength in women aged over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly related to the presence of low back pain. (6) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn finds this interesting, but it’s documented!
