Back Pain Changes Largo Spinal Movement

Any Largo back pain sufferer will agree: back pain affects movement. Sitting down takes more time. Standing up is slower. Bending over takes lots of thought…or causes total avoidance. Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows back pain changes motions. Researchers keep studying just how and how much it alters motion. With chiropractic care, your Largo chiropractor is focused on helping you get back the ease of movement you had before you experienced back pain.

SPINAL MOVEMENT ALTERED BY BACK PAIN

Back pain patients move atypically. They often alter the way they move to evade pain. They’ll walk differently. They turn around differently. Their spinal kinematics – motions – are unusual. A recent study analyzed over 800 papers on this topic of altered kinematics. The authors asserted that restricted lumbar spinal mobility in all planes caused by low back pain was statistically significant. (1) Another study concluded that the type of spinal disorder a patient affected the biomechanics of the sit-to-stand movement. Patients with spinal deformity-related back pain showed greater differences in a variety of biomechanical motions (like hip, spine, and knee torque) compared to patients with non-specific low back pain. (2) Figuring out just how much spinal kinematics are impacted by back pain is the job your Largo chiropractor enjoys most.

TESTING SPINAL MOVEMENT

When healthcare professional like your Largo chiropractor examine new low back pain patients, tests like sit-to-stand that check our new patients’ ability to perform motions that daily activities demand are valuable. Patients with low back pain reveal greatly altered kinematics, motions, of the spine. (3) Patients with low back pain showed motion changes in the lumbar spine, hip and trunk. (4) Chronic non-specific low back pain sufferers showed altered motor adaptability while performing a variety of repetitive functional tasks like flexion, extension, lifting, walking, sit-to-stand-to-sit motions. (5) The chiropractic spinal examination at Hollstrom & Associates Inc is systematic to record the extent to which low back pain is affecting your daily activities with a goal to get you back to doing them again with the least possible difficulty.
