What is the difference between an exercise done seated and standing?

27/8/2014

A big emphasis of my work is stability, especially in people with lower back pain or a history of recurring lower back pain.  The first step when someone comes to my chiropractic practice, is to assess the area, restore optimal
function and reduce the initial complaint through chiropractic care. Once things are functioning better, the emphasis moves onto why the problem was there in the first place and how we can stop it from coming back.  This invariably will include some sort of stability exercises and stretches.
 
There are hundreds of different exercises and workouts out there and what is best for an individual will depend on numerous factors.  A good question to ask is, what is the difference between an exercise done seated and standing? I came across some interesting research that I thought I should share.

What is Sciatica?

21/8/2014

People often think that any pain in the leg, whether it is in the front, back or side, is called 'sciatica'.  However, this is not the case.  Sciatica is defined as pain or discomfort associated with the sciatic nerve which runs from the lower back, down the back of the legs to the feet.  It is estimated that up to 40% of the New Zealand population will experience sciatica at some point in their lives.

To fully understand Sciatica, you first need to know what the sciatic nerve is.  The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body and is actually composed of two nerves, the common fibular (or peroneal) nerve and the Tibial nerve.  These nerves are originally formed from 5 different nerve roots in the lower lumbar spine and pelvis. These nerves join together then run down the back of the thigh to knee level where they split and one travels down the front of the lower leg and one travels down the back of the lower leg.

Lets look a bit deeper and see how sciatica occurs, how you diagnose it and most importantly, how to fix it.

What could be making your back pain worse? And a possible solution!

10/8/2014

Repeated cycles of lumbar hinging (flexing of the lower back) has been shown to be the quickest way to herniate a disc in the lower back.  The research shows that the injury to the disc occurs from the inside out. So how does this occur? In order to understand this you first need to know how the intervertebral discs are structured.
