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 should be
followed closely for increased 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 increased 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
ability may significantly impact the risk of
spondylolysis in athletes. (2) This just goes to show Novelli Wellness Center
that athletes of all ages and all sports warrant attention when suffering
with Orchard Park, NY back pain.
MOTIONS INFLUENCING SPONDYLOLYSIS
Orchard Park, NY back pain sufferers often
comment that their back pain came on following a particular
seemingly non-hurtful move. That’s not uncommon! Past
research studies usually indicated that
repetitive motion of the lumbar spine into extension, rotation or a combination
of these as important risk factors for spondylolysis. Such
motions were seen in practicing baseball batting/pitching, soccer
shooting, and volleyball spiking. Running track and field doesn’t demand such motions, and running athletes
are seen with spondylolysis pushing
researchers to determine why. They discovered that
the spinopelvic angles of running athletes are like
those of the above sports’ athletes, putting them at risk of mechanical stress
on the pars interarticularis, too, leading to spondylolysis. (3) Novelli Wellness Center
helps Orchard Park, NY back pain sufferers, athletes and non-athletes alike.
GLUCOSAMINE SUPPLEMENTATION BENEFITS FOR ALL
A current article noted
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 elevated indicating
enhanced cartilage metabolism compared to that of non-athletes
while type II collagen synthesis was nearly equivalent.
Glucosamine – a type II collagen – provided a chondroprotective
action on osteoarthritis by blocking type II collagen
degradation. (4) Novelli Wellness Center has more info on
glucosamine and chondroitin supplementation benefits for your spine and joints
whether you are an athlete or not!
