Connected Chiropractic Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care
KINESIOPHOBIA. That’s big word. It denote fear that moving may cause pain. It’s something your Elgin chiropractor works with Elgin back pain patients every day. It is important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is critical, and Connected Chiropractic is all about getting our chiropractic patients moving and keeping them moving.
FEAR OF MOVING…AND MORE
Chronic back pain does not just affect the back and spine. It alters 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 affects the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But just how much? Researchers say significantly. (1) Connected Chiropractic understands. It’s wise to not want to prompt such back pain if one can avoid it. Connected Chiropractic urges slow but sure return to usual life motions and to do it one day at a time.
MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Elgin CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN
Connected Chiropractic shares that research studies revealed improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would surely be welcomed by Elgin back pain patients suffering with lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for spine surgery in US adults. Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs offered 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 reduce pain and restore motion and function. Doctors like your Elgin chiropractor at Connected Chiropractic test muscle activation and balance ability with a one-legged balance posture in older patients and those with chronic low back pain because it is known that chronic low back pain patients and older people are different in their muscle responses to a variety of physical tasks than those without chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers experience balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is lower.
