back pain belt- safe choices for back pain management solutions.
In my opinion back
pain belt walking is a great way to stay fit and active. Even if you are
sedentary, you may take 1,000 to 3,000 steps a day. However if you are active,
look out. You may take more than 10, 000 steps a day. So what happens when the
sacroiliac joint is not moving freely and the hip joint moves excessively?
Can you imagine the damages to the buttock soft tissues,
the sacroiliac and hip joints with each step taken? The pelvis is formed by the sacrum, tailbone
and two ileum which are basically wing like hip bones. When you walk and run,
as a unit, the sacrum and tailbone rock slightly back and forth.
Each wing like hip bone rotates in opposite direction. So
when your walk, one hip bone which is ileum along with the sacroiliac joint
rotates forward while the opposite one on the other side rotates back. If one
of the hip bones is struck in a forward, rotated position, then the same
sacroiliac join cannot rotate back freely and fully during the second half of
the walking stride.
The buttock muscles on the same restricted side are
forced to compensate by pulling harder at the hip joint to swing your leg back.
Normally, the sacroiliac and hip joints rotate simultaneously. However with a
dysfunctional sacroiliac joint, the hip joint is forced to rotate more than it
needs to.
Now I am sure do you see the potential for damage,
especially if you take 10,000 steps a day? If the hip joint is forced to
excessively, eventually you will wear it out. The affected hip may being to
click and pop as it needs to create a new axis of rotation.
This can lead to premature hip degeneration and
arthritis. The hip feels stiff in the morning. It will also feel stiff and
clunky as you get up and move around after sitting down for a while. What about
the buttock muscles?
Now let’s say you have a hand crank radio? It’s old and
hasn’t been cared for; some of the internal gears are rusty. When you crank it,
you notice that it doesn’t turn as smoothly as before. The internal gears are
not moving freely and efficiently.
It requires more effort to crank the handle. Within
minutes, your arm muscles get tired from cranking the rusty gears inside the
radio. Now the same principle applies to your buttock muscles. Eventually the
compensated buttock muscles will eventually wear out.
They will become tight and taut and the tight and taut
buttock muscle will then resist forward rotation of the sacroiliac and hip
joints which create a new problem. Normally, when you step forward as in
walking and running, the buttock muscles should let go and relax.
But these tight and taut muscles prevent normal
facilitator relaxation. The groin and hip flexor muscles must then work harder
to overcome the increased tension from the buttock muscles. So basically you
have a tug of war between the anterior groin or hip flexor muscles and
posterior buttock muscles.
Before you know it,
back pain belt this muscle tug of war causes hip and groin pain and
clicking. You will often notice clicking in the groin and hip when you bring
your thigh up, walk up the stairs and hill or simply getting up from sitting
down. Now if you want to know more about safe choices for back pain management
