Williamson Chiropractic Care for Spine and Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Pain causes us to be a bit self-centered instead of life-centered which is perfectly logical and logically universal. People around the globe suffer with pain, back pain, neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, much of which is spine-centered. Luckily, Williamson 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 a worldwide study that tracked 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 rose significantly. Globally, neck pain and low back pain were observed to burden public health significantly, particularly 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 common in higher socioeconomic indexed countries. (1) Not counting low back pain, neck pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis, the same Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 conveyed that “other musculoskeletal disorders” grew 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 including death and disability due to musculoskeletal disorders is estimated to keep growing. From 2020 to 2050, it is predicted to increase by 115% to 1060 million cases. More women are impacted by 47.4% than men. The prevalence of these disorders peaked between 65 and 69 old for both men and women.

Studies like these inspire us to keep up with spine research to help you, our Williamson chiropractic patient, best.
UNDERSTANDING STANDING AND BACK PAIN
Neck pain and back pain are certainly two of our most common painful spinal conditions at Apple Country Chiropractic…and standing is a daily necessity! 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 prominent curve 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 affect 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 forces us to think about it all the time!). In a new study, researchers wrote 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 more than 20°. Knowing these types of spinal responses are critical in the world of occupational health where lumbar musculoskeletal disorders are a major problem.
