DON’T FEAR! BE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR SPINE.
Chiropractors see it every day. Sitka back pain sufferers stay away from
lifting or worry about using their spines for things
like lifting due to fear of (re)injury and pain. Researchers report that chronic
low back pain patients tend to protect their spines by lifting
utilizing a reduced lumbar spine range of motion. Doing
this for a long stretch of time may end up hurting more than
helping. The lumbar spine tissues may experience more
loading due to altered spine motion. (1) Fear-avoidance is a natural reaction in back pain patients. Don’t
feel weird if you do this for a while! Within our
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management, we encourage our back pain patients to get back to normal spinal motions slowly as their pain lowers
and their exercise routine strengthens their spines via Sitka chiropractic
treatment, exercise, and nutrition. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka and you will get there
together! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is your partner in controlling back pain, so it doesn’t control you.
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Clint Dickason on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he explains
his care of a nurse with back pain and sciatic leg pain using the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management to help her get back to doing normal motions of daily life and her job, including bending, lifting and
twisting.
Sitka CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: CURCUMIN FOR CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF AND
IMPROVED COGNITION
Cognitive impairment is seen
in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. A recent study on the
effects of curcumin reports improvement in cognitive impairment
and reduction of chronic pain as a result of compressed
sciatic nerves in rats. Curcumin is said to alleviate
chronic constriction injury related behaviors and memory deficits by lowering
inflammatory cytokines. (2) The sciatic nerve is irritated in sciatica resulting in leg pain. If
you have sciatica, do you note issues with cognition? Curcumin’s
anti-inflammatory properties are something to be considered
in the nutritional approach to chronic pain and Sitka sciatic leg
pain. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka does!
