YOUTH ATHLETES, THEIR SPORTS, AND SPONDYLOLYSIS BACK PAIN
Back pain may grip young athletes in a range
of sports. Researchers suggest that the young person or
adolescent with low back pain and back muscle spasm needs to be
followed carefully for heightened risk of pars
interarticularis fracture related to 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
3 sports with increased 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
prowess may significantly influence the risk of
spondylolysis in athletes. (2) This just goes to show Minster Chiropractic Center
that athletes of all ages and all sports deserve attention when experiencing Minster back pain.
MOTIONS INFLUENCING SPONDYLOLYSIS
Minster back pain sufferers often
comment that their back pain came on following a particular
really benign move. That’s not uncommon! Past
research reports often indicated that
repetitive motion of the lumbar spine into extension, rotation or a combination
of these to be key risk factors for spondylolysis. Such
motions were noted in baseball batting or pitching practice, soccer
shooting practice, and volleyball spiking practice. Running track and field doesn’t require such motions, and running athletes
are seen with spondylolysis prompting
researchers to figure out why. They found that
the spinopelvic angles in athletes who run are like
those of the above sports’ athletes, putting them at risk of mechanical stress
on the pars interarticularis, too, leading to spondylolysis. (3) Minster Chiropractic Center
helps Minster back pain sufferers, athletes and non-athletes alike.
GLUCOSAMINE SUPPLEMENTATION BENEFITS FOR ALL
A current paper explained
that endurance athletes has intense joint-loading preceding cartilage metabolism and type II collagen degradation. The type II
collagen degradation in soccer and rugby players was increased signifying
enhanced cartilage metabolism compared to that of non-athletes
while type II collagen synthesis was almost equivalent.
Glucosamine – a type II collagen – delivered a chondroprotective
action on osteoarthritis by preventing type II collagen
degradation. (4) Minster Chiropractic Center has more detail on
glucosamine and chondroitin supplementation benefits for your spine and joints
whether you’re an athlete or not!
