Back Pain Changes Oxford Spinal Movement

Any Oxford back pain sufferer will agree: back pain alters movement. Sitting down takes more time. Standing up is slower. Bending over takes lots of thought…or causes total avoidance. Satterwhite Chiropractic knows back pain alters movements. Researchers keep studying just how and how much it changes motion. With chiropractic care, your Oxford chiropractor aims to help you regain the ease of movement you had before you had back pain.

SPINAL MOVEMENT ALTERED BY BACK PAIN

Back pain patients move atypically. They often alter the way they move to avoid pain. You will see them walk differently. They bend differently. Their spinal kinematics – motions – are unusual. A recent study reviewed over 800 papers on the subject of altered kinematics. The authors concluded that the limitation of lumbar spinal mobility in all planes brought on by low back pain was statistically significant. (1) Another study found that the type of spinal disorder a patient impacted the biomechanics of the sit-to-stand activity. Patients with spinal deformity-related back pain showed greater differences in an array 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 Oxford chiropractor’s much-loved job.

TESTING SPINAL MOVEMENT

When healthcare professional like your Oxford chiropractor analyze new low back pain patients, tests like sit-to-stand that check our new patients’ ability to carry out motions that daily activities demand are valuable. Patients with low back pain show considerably altered kinematics, motions, of the spine. (3) Patients with low back pain demonstrated motion changes in the lumbar spine, hip and trunk. (4) Chronic non-specific low back pain sufferers exhibited altered motor adaptability while performing various repetitive functional tasks like flexion, extension, lifting, walking, sit-to-stand-to-sit motions. (5) The chiropractic spinal examination at Satterwhite Chiropractic is systematic to record the extent to which low back pain is impacting your daily activities with a goal to get you back to doing them again with the least possible difficulty.
