What Factors Play A Role in Vancouver Back Pain, Arm Pain And Leg Pain?
Your Vancouver chiropractor is always looking for interesting stories to answer Vancouver back pain patients’ questions. Vancouver back pain patients like easy answers. Your Vancouver chiropractor at Vancouver Disc Centers does, too. Check out these factors that guide your relief of Vancouver back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific Vancouver low back pain (LBP) poses a huge socioeconomic problem although the mechanisms are not yet clear. Impaired motor control is one of the mechanisms which was indicated by a lower movement amplitude of the pelvis, additional in-phase coordination, lower ground reaction forces, greater stride-to-stride variability and an elevated activity in spine muscles. Impaired motor control during walking is indicated by greater activity of the spine muscles which results in 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 affiliated with 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 associated in six ways: 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 research revealed a compelling relationship between DMS and the existence of MetS and its mechanisms 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. Vancouver back pain patients are share the same issues! These findings might support the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection hypothesis.

EXERCISE
Vancouver Disc Centers encourages Vancouver chiropractic patients to exercise even simple walking. A study assessed the outcomes 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 nine-week stabilization exercise therapy program, performed 60 minutes weekly, showed improved pain and disability and increased spine muscle endurance. This report confirmed that a 9-week progressive exercise therapy program can enhance physical health and reduce the prevalence of cervical disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal pain.

BALANCE CONTROL
Vancouver back pain in elderly effectively lowers balance ability. Vancouver Disc Centers doesn’t see this as a good event! These patients presented decreased dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance control causing a deficit of postural control from proprioceptive impairment. Moreover, elderly patients with low back pain are at increased risk for lower leg proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) Vancouver Disc Centers definitely checks Vancouver back pain patients for issues with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
Another interesting issue 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) Vancouver Disc Centers see this as this interesting, but it is published!
