Fort Wayne 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 around the world suffer with pain, back pain, neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, a great deal of which is spine-centered. Luckily, Fort Wayne chiropractic care is locally accessible to help manage as well as alleviate spine-related pain.
GLOBAL IMPACT OF SPINE AND MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN CONDITIONS
Data from a worldwide study that followed 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. Globally, neck pain and low back pain were recorded as burdening public health significantly, particularly as people age, being most problematic in middle and older aged folks. Data also suggested that these two conditions were more frequent in women and middle-aged groups and more frequent in higher socioeconomic indexed countries. (1) Not including low back pain, neck pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis, the same Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 stated that “other musculoskeletal disorders” rose by 123.4% from 221 million to 494 million people from 1990 to 2019. With over 150 different conditions impacting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and the spine under the umbrella of “other musculoskeletal disorders,” health loss comprising death and disability due to musculoskeletal disorders is estimated to keep growing. From 2020 to 2050, it is estimated to rise 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 keep up with spine research to assist you, our Fort Wayne chiropractic patient, best.
UNDERSTANDING STANDING AND BACK PAIN
Neck pain and back pain are certainly two of our most common painful spinal conditions at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic…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 greater variations in lumbar lordosis (spinal curvature) like upright standing posture with a bit more extension or more prominent curvature like kyphosis may well affect musculoskeletal reaction 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 constantly!). In a new study, researchers reported that unsupported sitting increased 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 greater than 20°. Knowing about spinal responses like these are important in the world of occupational health where lumbar musculoskeletal disorders are a major problem.
