Spine in Sports

The CLEAR Scoliosis Institute believes that participation in sports and physical activities plays an important role in developing physical, intellectual, and social well-being in adolescents.  It is the goal of the CLEAR Scoliosis Institute and CLEAR-certified doctors of chiropractic to support adolescents in encouraging healthy and safe participation in these activities. Most sports and activities will not have a negative effect upon the spine, and should be encouraged. The best activities for a person with scoliosis to participate in are swimming (with the exception of the butterfly stroke), diving, cycling (not off-road), walking, hiking, and sprinting (avoid long-distance running), aerobics (such as dance, color guard, yoga, and flexibility training), and gliding-type activities such as cross-country skiing and ellipticals (Nordic track, Gazelle edge, and similar exercise machines).Short-term, high-intensity exercise (burst training) is usually preferable to endurance training. Spinal stenosis is a fairly common problem caused by constriction of the spinal cord or nerves exiting from the spinal cord. This can occur in the neck (cervical) as well as the lower back (lumbar) and on rare occasion, in the central (thoracic) spine. The symptoms associated with central stenosis (or stenosis of the spinal cord) are usually an aching in the legs, loss of balance, or loss of bowel and bladder control. The symptoms associated with foraminal stenosis (or tightening of the exiting nerves or nerve roots) are numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness in a particular area of the arm or leg.
