Most Chiropractic Clinic Cares for Murfreesboro Athletes of All Levels who have Back Pain
Murfreesboro athletes – young and older alike – dislike being sidelined from their sports. Most Chiropractic Clinic knows this! Most Chiropractic Clinic offers individualized, effective Murfreesboro chiropractic treatment plans to get athletes suffering with back pain to their sports with more awareness of prevention and rehabilitation tips to escape future back pain and keep doing what they love to do.
YOUTH ATHLETES, THEIR SPORTS, AND SPONDYLOLYSIS BACK PAIN
Back pain may grip young athletes in a variety of sports. Researchers propose that the young person or adolescent with low back pain and back muscle spasm should be followed closely for heightened risk of pars interarticularis fracture associated with spondylolisthesis and spondylolysis. (1) In a new study of 1025 adolescent athletes with low back pain, 30% of them had spondylolysis. By sport, males’ top three sports with higher risk were baseball (54%), soccer (48%), and hockey (44%). Females’ top three sports were gymnastics (34%), marching band (31%), and softball (30%). Geography and level of athletic ability may significantly impact the risk of spondylolysis in athletes. (2) This just goes to show Most Chiropractic Clinic that athletes of all ages and all sports warrant attention when suffering with Murfreesboro back pain.
MOTIONS INFLUENCING SPONDYLOLYSIS
Murfreesboro back pain sufferers often comment that their back pain came on following a certain seemingly non-hurtful move. That’s not uncommon! Past research reports usually pointed to repetitive motion of the lumbar spine into extension, rotation or a combination of these to be important risk factors for spondylolysis. Such motions were seen in baseball batting or pitching practice, soccer shooting practice, and volleyball spiking practice. Running track and field does not demand such motions, yet running athletes are diagnosed with spondylolysis prompting researchers to determine why. They found that the spinopelvic angles in running athletes are similar to the above sports’ athletes, making them vulnerable to mechanical stress on the pars interarticularis, too, leading to spondylolysis.

GLUCOSAMINE SUPPLEMENTATION BENEFITS FOR ALL
A new article explained that endurance athletes has intense joint-loading leading to cartilage metabolism and type II collagen degradation. The type II collagen degradation in soccer and rugby players was increased signifying improved cartilage metabolism compared to that of non-athletes while type II collagen synthesis was nearly equivalent. Glucosamine – a type II collagen – provided a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by preventing type II collagen degradation.
