Manchester Chiropractic Care for Spine and Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Pain causes us to be a bit self-centered instead of life-centered which is entirely logical and logically global. People globally experience pain, back pain, neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, much of which is spine-centered. Fortunately, Manchester chiropractic care is locally accessible to help manage as well as relieve spine-related pain.
GLOBAL IMPACT OF SPINE AND MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN CONDITIONS
Data from an international study that monitored spine pain (neck pain and low back pain) sufferers from 1990 to 2019 revealed that the “years lived with disabilities,” incidence, and prevalence of both spine issues grew significantly. Worldwide, neck pain and low back pain were noted to burden public health significantly, particularly as people age, being most problematic in middle age and older. Data also pointed out 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” 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 estimated to keep growing. From 2020 to 2050, it is estimated to rise by 115% to 1060 million cases. More women are affected by 47.4% than men. The prevalence of these disorders topped out between 65 and 69 years of age for both men and women.

Studies like these motivate us to keep up with spine research to help you, our Manchester chiropractic patient, best.
UNDERSTANDING STANDING AND BACK PAIN
Back pain and neck pain are definitely two of our most common painful spinal conditions at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries…and standing is a daily requisite! Everyone’s spine is a bit 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 affect musculoskeletal response 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 including standing up straight.
UNDERSTANDING SITTING AND BACK PAIN
And sitting is another daily activity that we all do often without a second thought (until pain forces us to think about it constantly!). In a recent study, researchers found that unsupported sitting intensified intradiscal pressure by about 30% in comparison to upright standing. Intradiscal pressures were greater 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 these types of spinal responses are vital in the world of occupational health where lumbar musculoskeletal disorders are a major problem.
