Pure Chiropractic Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care
KINESIOPHOBIA. Now, there’s a word! It means fear that moving may cause pain. It is something your Concord, NC chiropractor works with Concord, NC back pain patients every day. It’s important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is critical, and Pure Chiropractic is all about getting our chiropractic patients moving and keeping them moving.
FEAR OF MOVING…AND MORE
Chronic back pain doesn’t just alter the back and spine. It influences the back pain sufferer’s emotions and physicality, too. Kinesiophobia is a more extreme fear of pain or re-injury upon movement. Understandably such fear influences the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But just how much? Researchers write that it is altered significantly. (1) Pure Chiropractic gets it. It’s wise to not want to trigger such back pain if one can avoid it. Pure Chiropractic encourages slow but sure return to usual life motions and to take it one day at a time.
MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Concord, NC CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN
Pure Chiropractic reports that research studies revealed improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would certainly be welcomed by Concord, NC back pain patients suffering with lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for spine surgery in US adults. Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs provided greater short-term symptom improvement, physical function and walking capacity than medical care or group exercise. (2)
BALANCE, MUSCLE AND BACK PAIN
Individualized treatment plans are superior to decrease pain and return motion and function. Doctors like your Concord, NC chiropractor at Pure Chiropractic test muscle activation and balance ability with a one-legged balance stance in older patients and those with chronic low back pain because it is known that chronic low back pain patients and older people respond with different muscle responses to various physical tasks than those without chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers have balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is worse.
