Murfreesboro 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 experience pain, back pain, neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, a great deal of which is spine-centered. Luckily, Murfreesboro 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 an international study that followed spine pain (neck pain and low back pain) sufferers from 1990 to 2019 found that the “years lived with disabilities,” incidence, and prevalence of both spine issues grew significantly. Globally, neck pain and low back pain were observed to burden public health significantly, especially as people get older, 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 common in higher socioeconomic indexed countries. (1) Beyond low back pain, neck pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis, the same Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 reported that “other musculoskeletal disorders” increased 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 comprising death and disability due to musculoskeletal disorders is predicted to continue its growth. From 2020 to 2050, it is predicted to increase by 115% to 1060 million cases. More women are affected by 47.4% than men. The prevalence of these disorders peaked between 65 and 69 old for both men and women.

Studies like these motivate us to stay current with spine research to assist you, our Murfreesboro chiropractic patient, best.
UNDERSTANDING STANDING AND BACK PAIN
Back pain and neck pain are certainly two of our most common painful spinal conditions at Most Chiropractic Clinic…and standing is a daily requisite! Everyone’s spine is a little different. How we each stand is a little 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 noticeable curve like kyphosis may well impact musculoskeletal reaction as far as spinal loading and trunk muscle force. (3) We urge our patients to think about good posture which can positively affect your actually having good posture including 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 forces us to think about it all the time!). In a new study, researchers found that unsupported sitting increased intradiscal pressure by about 30% compared to upright standing. Intradiscal pressures were higher for sitting than standing when back angles were less than 20° and higher for standing than sitting when the angles were greater than 20°. Knowing about spinal responses like these are vital in the world of occupational health where lumbar musculoskeletal disorders are a major problem.
