Sitka Chiropractic Care Relief for Back Pain and Fear of Back Pain
Have you noticed that if you see someone with a pin approach a balloon, you flinch or cover your ears? You know there’s a noise coming. It’s similar with Sitka back pain. If you expect your back to hurt, it often is. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka cares for back pain patients every day with that balloon-pop instinct for back pain’s intensity. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka strives to help our Sitka back pain patients feel back pain relief and learn to not expect their backs to hurt.
Sitka BACK PAIN PERCEPTION
Researchers publish that perception of pain is influenced by both the expectation of pain (or no pain) and the actual sensation of pain. However, the greater the difference between the expectation and the pain, the less the expectation of pain or no pain affects the real experience of pain. (1) It's no wonder, then, that back pain patients - those with spondylosis, intervertebral disc disorders among others – have issues with depression. (2) They expect a life without back pain, yet they suffer with back pain. There’s a disconnect between perception and reality. Treating Sitka back pain patients consists of not just treating the source of back pain but its effects on the whole person, mind and body.
Sitka BACK PAIN FEAR
Patients fear Sitka back pain. Patients desire a diagnosis, pain control and imaging (often regardless of what the medical guidelines say). These perceived patient needs influence patient outcomes. (3) Back pain specialists who know these perceived needs can deal with these needs, can discuss these needs and can explain how these needs are being met with the Sitka chiropractic treatment plan. Your chiropractor wants what is best for you and your sought after and deserved pain relief.
Sitka BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Luckily, spinal manipulation proves itself worthy of use by Sitka back pain patients as research reports that it may reduce the expectation of pain, the fear of movement and other associated brain responses that chronic low back pain patients experience. (As a side note, how were these findings discovered? With amazing new MRI technology that investigates brain function and blood oxygen level signaling! Amazing!). (4) Your Sitka chiropractor at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka delivers the gentlest form of spinal manipulation, Cox Technic, that itself is amazing. Another research study reported that manipulation and mobilization likely reduce pain and improve function for chronic low back pain. Manipulation has a better effect than mobilization. Both appeared to be safe interventions leading the researchers to propose that a multimodal treatment plan may be promising. (5) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka knows this to be true! Your treatment plan will involve a variety of treatment approaches to help get you the relief you want.
