New York City 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 universal. People around the globe suffer with pain, back pain, neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, a great deal of which is spine-centered. Fortunately, New York City 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 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 conditions rose significantly. Worldwide, neck pain and low back pain were noted to burden public health significantly, particularly as people get older, being most problematic in middle and older aged folks. 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) Beyond low back pain, neck pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis, the same Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 conveyed 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 including death and disability due to musculoskeletal disorders is estimated to continue its growth. From 2020 to 2050, it is expected to increase 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 old for both men and women.

Studies like these motivate us to stay current with spine research to assist you, our New York City chiropractic patient, best.
UNDERSTANDING STANDING AND BACK PAIN
Neck pain and back pain are certainly two of our most common painful spinal conditions at Rosenberg Wellness Center…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 recorded greater variations in lumbar lordosis (spinal curvature) like upright standing posture with a bit more extension or more prominent curvature like kyphosis may well have a bearing 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 a second thought (until pain makes us to think about it all the time!). In a new study, researchers wrote that unsupported sitting intensified 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° and higher for standing than sitting when the angles were more than 20°. Knowing about spinal responses like these are important in the world of occupational health where lumbar musculoskeletal disorders are a big problem.
