Chiropractic Care Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care

KINESIOPHOBIA. That’s big word. It means fear that moving may cause pain. It is something your West Palm Beach chiropractor works with West Palm Beach back pain patients every day. It’s vital to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is critical, and Chiropractic Care 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 affects the back pain sufferer’s emotions and physicality, too.  Kinesiophobia is a more extreme fear of pain or re-injury upon movement. No doubt 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) Chiropractic Care gets it. It’s reasonable to not desire to trigger such back pain if one can escape it. Chiropractic Care urges slow but sure return to everyday life motions and to do it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE West Palm Beach CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Chiropractic Care reports that research studies revealed improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would surely be welcomed by West Palm Beach back pain patients who have lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for spine surgery in US adults.  Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs offered better short-term symptom improvement, physical function and walking capacity than medical care or group exercise.

BALANCE, MUSCLE AND BACK PAIN

Individualized treatment plans are superior to decrease pain and return motion and function. Doctors like your West Palm Beach chiropractor at Chiropractic Care assess muscle activation and balance ability with a one-legged balance posture in older patients and those with chronic low back pain because it’s known that chronic low back pain patients and older people respond with different muscle responses to various physical tasks than those who do not have chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers have balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is worse.
