Minster Chiropractic Center offers personalized, useful Minster chiropractic treatment plans to get athletes experiencing back pain to their sports with more knowledge of prevention and rehabilitation tips to escape future back pain and keep participating in what they love to do.
YOUTH ATHLETES, THEIR SPORTS, AND SPONDYLOLYSIS BACK PAIN
Back pain may grip young athletes in a variety of sports. Researchers suggest that the young person or adolescent with low back pain and back muscle spasm needs to be followed closely for heightened risk of pars interarticularis fracture associated with 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 three sports with higher risk were baseball (54%), soccer (48%), and hockey (44%). Females’ top 3 sports were gymnastics (34%), marching band (31%), and softball (30%). Geography and level of athletic prowess may significantly impact the risk of spondylolysis in athletes. (2) This tells Minster Chiropractic Center that athletes of all ages and all sports deserve attention when suffering with 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 studies often indicated that repetitive motion of the lumbar spine into extension, rotation or a combination of these as key risk factors for spondylolysis. Such motions were seen in practicing baseball batting/pitching, soccer shooting, and volleyball spiking. Running track and field does not require such motions, yet running athletes are diagnosed with spondylolysis pushing researchers to figure out why. They found that the spinopelvic angles of athletes who run are similar to the above sports’ athletes, placing them at risk of mechanical stress on the pars interarticularis, too, leading to spondylolysis.

GLUCOSAMINE SUPPLEMENTATION BENEFITS FOR ALL
A new paper explained that endurance athletes experienced intense joint-loading preceding cartilage metabolism and type II collagen degradation. In soccer and rugby players, the type II collagen degradation was increased indicating enhanced cartilage metabolism compared to that of non-athletes while type II collagen synthesis was nearly the same. Glucosamine – a type II collagen – provided a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by preventing type II collagen degradation.
