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

Your McHenry chiropractor is always on alert for interesting ways to address McHenry back pain patients’ questions. McHenry back pain patients like easy answers. Your McHenry chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic does, too. Check out these factors that guide your relief of McHenry back pain, arm and leg pain.

CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE

Chronic non-specific McHenry low back pain (LBP) is a huge socioeconomic problem although the mechanisms are not yet clear. Impaired motor control is one issue which was indicated by a lower movement amplitude of the pelvis, additional in-phase coordination, lower ground reaction forces, higher 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 observed. Abnormal spine mobility is associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) (2), and MetS encompasses 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: increased body fat, declined muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait speed, and balance issues. Particularly, insulin resistance was related to increased body fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study demonstrated a strong relationship between DMS and the existence of MetS and its mechanisms 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. McHenry back pain patients are share the same issues! These discoveries might back the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection hypothesis. (3) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic helps McHenry chiropractic patients with McHenry back pain relief and with their desire to address confounding metabolic issues.

EXERCISE

OrthoIllinois Chiropractic encourages McHenry chiropractic patients to exercise even doing something as simple as walk. A study evaluated 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 weekly, showed improved pain and disability and intensified spine muscle endurance. This report revealed that a 9-week progressive exercise therapy program can improve physical health and reduce the prevalence of cervical disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal pain. (4) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic emphasizes that exercise is helpful!

BALANCE CONTROL

McHenry back pain in elderly effectively lowers balance ability. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic doesn’t see this as a good event! These patients showed reduced reliance 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) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic definitely evaluates McHenry back pain patients for issues with balance.

HAND GRIP STRENGTH

One more interesting 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) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic see this as this interesting, but it is documented!
