What Factors Play A Role in Largo Back Pain, Arm Pain And Leg Pain?

Your Largo chiropractor is always on alert for interesting ways to answer Largo back pain patients’ questions. Largo back pain patients like easy answers. Your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc does, too. Check out these factors that influence your relief of Largo back pain, arm and leg pain.

CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE

Chronic non-specific Largo low back pain (LBP) is a huge socioeconomic problem although the mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Impaired motor control is one issue which was indicated by a lower movement amplitude of the pelvis, more in-phase coordination, lower ground reaction forces, greater stride-to-stride variability and a higher action in spine muscles. Impaired motor control during walking is reflected in greater activity of the spine muscles which leads to 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 associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) (2), and MetS involves a collection of cardiovascular risk factors (insulin resistance, hypertension, glucose intolerance, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia. (7) DMS and MetS are associated in six domains: elevated body fat, reduced muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait speed, and balance problems. Notably, insulin resistance was correlated to increased body fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study showed a compelling relationship between DMS and the presence of MetS and its components in the elderly population. (2) Additionally, 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. Largo back pain patients are similar to them! These discoveries may well back the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection hypothesis.

EXERCISE

Hollstrom & Associates Inc encourages Largo chiropractic patients to exercise even simple walking. Researchers evaluated the outcomes 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 reduce the incidence of cervical disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal pain.

BALANCE CONTROL

Largo back pain in older folks effectively lowers balance ability. Hollstrom & Associates Inc does not view this as a good event! These patients presented reduced dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance control resulting in a deficit of postural control from proprioceptive impairment. Also, older patients with low back pain are at higher risk for lower leg proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Hollstrom & Associates Inc definitely tests Largo back pain patients for issues with balance.

HAND GRIP STRENGTH

Another interesting finding is low hand grip strength in women who are over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly related to the presence of low back pain. (6) Hollstrom & Associates Inc finds this interesting, but it’s published!
