Largo Chiropractic Care for Spine and Related Musculoskeletal Pain

Pain makes us a bit self-centered instead of life-centered which is completely logical and logically global. People around the world experience pain, back pain, neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, a great deal of which is spine-centered. Luckily, Largo chiropractic care is locally accessible to help contain 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 spine issues grew 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 suggested that these two conditions were more common in women and middle-aged groups and more frequent in higher socioeconomic indexed countries. (1) Not including low back pain, neck pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis, the same Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 stated that “other musculoskeletal disorders” grew by 123.4% from 221 million to 494 million people from 1990 to 2019. With over 150 different conditions involving 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 continue its growth. From 2020 to 2050, it is predicted to increase by 115% to 1060 million cases. More women are impacted by 47.4% than men. The prevalence of these disorders peaked between 65 and 69 years of age for both men and women.

Studies like these inspire us to stay current with spine research to assist you, our Largo chiropractic patient, in the best possible way.

UNDERSTANDING STANDING AND BACK PAIN

Back pain and neck pain are definitely two of our most common painful spinal conditions at Hollstrom & Associates Inc…and standing is a daily requisite! Everyone’s spine is a little different. How we each stand is a bit different…and that matters! A new study found that greater variations in lumbar lordosis (spinal curvature) like upright standing posture with a bit more extension or more prominent curvature 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 experiencinggood posture which includes standing up straight.

UNDERSTANDING SITTING AND BACK PAIN

And sitting is another activity of daily living that we all do often without a second thought (until pain makes us think about it constantly!). In a recent study, researchers found that unsupported sitting increased intradiscal pressure by about 30% compared to upright standing. Intradiscal pressures were higher for sitting than standing when back angles were less than 20 degrees and higher for standing than sitting when the angles were more than 20degrees. Knowing about spinal responses like these are important in the world of occupational health where lumbar musculoskeletal disorders are a big problem.
