Back Pain Changes Concord, NC Spinal Movement

Ask any Concord, NC back pain sufferer, and s/he will agree: back pain changes movement. Sitting down takes more time. Standing up is slower. Bending over takes lots of thought…or causes total avoidance. Pure Chiropractic knows back pain alters movements. Researchers keep studying just how and how much it changes movement. With chiropractic care, your Concord, NC chiropractor is focused on helping you regain the ease of movement you had before you had back pain.

SPINAL MOVEMENT ALTERED BY BACK PAIN

Patients with low back pain move differently. They often alter the way they move to avoid pain. They’ll walk differently. They turn around differently. Their spinal kinematics – motions – are unusual. A new study reviewed over 800 papers on the subject of altered kinematics. The authors asserted that restricted lumbar spinal mobility in all planes caused 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 movement. Patients with spinal deformity-related back pain demonstrated greater differences in a variety of biomechanical motions (like hip, spine, and knee torque) weighed against patients with non-specific low back pain. (2) Figuring out just how much spinal kinematics are affected by back pain is the job your Concord, NC chiropractor enjoys most.

TESTING SPINAL MOVEMENT

When healthcare professional like your Concord, NC chiropractor examine new low back pain patients, tests like sit-to-stand that assess our new patients’ ability to perform motions that daily activities demand 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 showed 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 Pure Chiropractic is systematic to document just how much low back pain is affecting your daily activities in order to return you to your activities of daily living with the least possible difficulty.
