Back Pain Changes Fernandina Beach Spinal Movement

Any Fernandina Beach back pain sufferer will agree: back pain alters movement. Sitting down takes more time. Standing up is slower. Bending over requires some thought…or causes total avoidance. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows back pain changes movements. Researchers continue to study just how and how much it alters movement. With chiropractic care, your Fernandina Beach chiropractor is focused on helping you regain the ease of movement you had before you experienced back pain.

SPINAL MOVEMENT ALTERED BY BACK PAIN

Back pain patients move differently. They often alter the way they move to evade pain. They’ll walk differently. They bend differently. Their spinal kinematics – motions – are different. A recent study analyzed over 800 papers on this topic of altered kinematics. The authors concluded that restricted lumbar spinal mobility in all planes caused by low back pain was statistically significant. (1) Another study concluded that the kind of spinal disorder a patient affected the biomechanics of the sit-to-stand activity. 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 your Fernandina Beach chiropractor’s much-loved job.

TESTING SPINAL MOVEMENT

When healthcare providers like your Fernandina Beach chiropractor examine new low back pain patients, tests like sit-to-stand that assess our new patients’ ability to carry out motions demanded by activities of daily living 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 exhibited 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 Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is thorough to document just how much low back pain is impacting your daily activities with a goal to get you back to doing them again with the least possible trouble.
