Oxford Chiropractic Care for Spine and Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Pain causes us to be a bit self-centered instead of life-centered which is completely logical and logically global. People globally suffer with pain, back pain, neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, much of which is spine-centered. Luckily, Oxford chiropractic care is locally available to help contain as well as alleviate spine-related pain.
GLOBAL IMPACT OF SPINE AND MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN CONDITIONS
Data from an international study that tracked spine pain (neck pain and low back pain) patients from 1990 to 2019 found that the “years lived with disabilities,” incidence, and prevalence of both spine issues increased significantly. Worldwide, neck pain and low back pain were recorded as burdening public health significantly, especially as people get older, being most problematic in middle age and older. Data also pointed out that these two conditions were more common in women and middle-aged groups and more frequent in higher socioeconomic indexed countries. (1) Beyond low back pain, neck pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis, the same Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 stated that “other musculoskeletal disorders” grew by 123.4% from 221 million to 494 million people from 1990 to 2019. With over 150 different conditions involving bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and the spine under the umbrella of “other musculoskeletal disorders,” health loss incorporating death and disability due to musculoskeletal disorders is predicted to continue its growth. From 2020 to 2050, it is expected to increase by 115% to 1060 million cases. More women are impacted by 47.4% than men. The prevalence of these disorders topped out between 65 and 69 old for both men and women.

Studies like these inspire us to stay current with spine research to assist you, our Oxford chiropractic patient, best.
UNDERSTANDING STANDING AND BACK PAIN
Neck pain and back pain are certainly two of our most typical painful spinal conditions at Satterwhite Chiropractic…and standing is a daily requisite! Everyone’s spine is a bit different. How we each stand is a bit different…and that matters! A new study found that bigger variations in lumbar lordosis (spinal curvature) like upright standing posture in a little more extension or more prominent curve like kyphosis may well affect musculoskeletal response as far as spinal loading and trunk muscle force. (3) We urge our patients to think about good posture which can beneficially influence your actually having good posture which includes standing up straight.
UNDERSTANDING SITTING AND BACK PAIN
And sitting is another activity of daily living that we all do often without any thought (until pain makes us to think about it all the time!). In a recent study, researchers reported that unsupported sitting intensified intradiscal pressure by about 30% in comparison to upright standing. Intradiscal pressures were higher for sitting than standing when back angles were less than 20 degrees and higher for standing than sitting when the angles were more than 20°. Knowing about spinal responses like these are vital in the world of occupational health where lumbar musculoskeletal disorders are a big concern.
