What Factors Play A Role in Groton Back Pain, Arm Pain And Leg Pain?
Your Groton chiropractor is continually looking for interesting stories to answer Groton back pain patients’ questions. Groton back pain patients like simple answers. Your Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office does, too. Read more about these factors that guide your relief of Groton back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Groton low back pain (LBP) presents a huge socioeconomic problem although the mechanisms are not yet clear. Impaired motor control is one issue which was shown by a lower movement amplitude of the pelvis, additional in-phase coordination, lower ground reaction forces, higher stride-to-stride variability and an elevated activity in spine muscles. Impaired motor control during walking is indicated by higher 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 observed. Abnormal spine mobility is linked to metabolic syndrome (MetS) (2), and MetS encompasses a collection of cardiovascular risk factors (insulin resistance, hypertension, glucose intolerance, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia. (7) DMS and MetS are linked in six ways: increased body fat, declined muscle mass, reduced muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait speed, and balance problems. Particularly, insulin resistance was related to higher body fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study demonstrated a strong relationship between DMS and the presence of MetS and its factors 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. Groton back pain patients are similar to them! These discoveries might support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection hypothesis.

EXERCISE
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office encourages Groton chiropractic patients to exercise even doing something as simple as walk. Researchers evaluated the effects of an exercise therapy program on pain and physical dimension of health-related quality of life for 57 young adults of an average age of 21 with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy program, performed 60 minutes weekly, revealed improved pain and disability and intensified spine muscle endurance. This report confirmed that a 9-week progressive exercise therapy program can enhance physical health and decrease the prevalence of cervical disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal pain. (4) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office highlights that exercise is effective!
BALANCE CONTROL
Groton back pain in older folks successfully reduces balance ability. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office doesn’t see this as a beneficial thing! These patients exhibited decreased reliance on ankle and hip strategy for balance control giving rise to a deficit of postural control from proprioceptive impairment. Also, elderly patients with low back pain are at increased risk for lower leg proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office definitely evaluates Groton back pain patients for problems with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
Another thought-provoking finding is low hand grip strength in women who are over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly associated with the presence of low back pain. (6) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office see this as this curious, but it is published!
