Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care
KINESIOPHOBIA. That’s big word. It means fear that moving may cause pain. It’s something your Manchester chiropractor works with Manchester back pain patients every day. It is important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is important, and Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is all about getting our chiropractic patients moving and keeping them moving.
FEAR OF MOVING…AND MORE
Chronic back pain doesn’t just affect 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. Understandably such fear affects the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But by how much? Researchers write that it is altered significantly. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries understands. It is reasonable to not desire to trigger such back pain if one can escape it. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries urges slow but sure return to usual life motions and to take it one day at a time.
MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Manchester CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries reports that research studies divulged improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would surely be welcomed by Manchester back pain patients suffering with lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for spine surgery in US adults. Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs delivered better 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 Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries test muscle activation and balance ability with a one-legged balance stance in older patients and those with chronic low back pain because it’s established that chronic low back pain patients and older people respond with different muscle responses to various physical tasks than those who don’t have chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers feel balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is worse.
