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

Your La Grande chiropractor is continually on alert for relatable stories to answer La Grande back pain patients’ questions. La Grande back pain patients like simple answers. Your La Grande chiropractor at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC does, too. Check out these factors that influence your relief of La Grande back pain, arm and leg pain.

CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE

Chronic non-specific La Grande low back pain (LBP) poses a major socioeconomic problem although the mechanisms are not yet clear. Impaired motor control is one issue which was shown by a reduced movement amplitude of the pelvis, additional in-phase coordination, lower ground reaction forces, greater stride-to-stride variability and a higher activity in spine muscles. Impaired motor control during walking is reflected in higher 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 seen. Abnormal spine mobility is linked to 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 related in six domains: elevated body fat, reduced muscle mass, lessened muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait speed, and balance issues. Particularly, insulin resistance was linked to higher body fat, osteoporosis and balance. This study showed a strong relationship between DMS and the presence of MetS and its factors 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. La Grande back pain patients are share the same issues! These findings may well back the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection hypothesis.

EXERCISE

Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC encourages La Grande 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 aged 21 average with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy program, performed 60 minutes once a week, showed enhanced pain and disability and increased spine muscle endurance. This report confirmed that a 9-week progressive exercise therapy program can improve physical health and decrease the incidence of cervical disability and low back pain in young people with musculoskeletal pain.

BALANCE CONTROL

La Grande back pain in older folks successfully reduces balance ability. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC doesn’t see this as a beneficial thing! These patients showed decreased dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance control giving rise to a discrepancy 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) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC certainly tests La Grande back pain patients for issues with balance.

HAND GRIP STRENGTH

One more stimulating issue is low hand grip strength in women aged over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly related to the existence of low back pain. (6) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC finds this interesting, but it is published!
