Pain is an unusual motivator. Pain may de-motivate
one person (fear of pain, excuse to not do, reason to not exercise). Pain may
motivate another person (fear of not doing, desire to do more, increased need
to exercise). Back pain affects each Sitka back pain sufferer in a
different way, too, when it comes to exercise for Sitka back pain
relief. Your Sitka chiropractor knows this well. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
helps each Sitka back pain sufferer by starting where he or she is - motivated or not, fearful or not, exercise-craved or not – accept that
exercise will
relieve and even control and possibly keep at bay future episodes of back pain.
MOTIVATION AND COMMUNICATION
Often it comes down to communication. As your Sitka
back pain specialist, your Sitka chiropractor at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
learns the best way to communicate
with you about your back pain condition and how to help and combat
its pain with exercise. One new research paper shows that
communication increases exercise program adherence and clinical
outcomes for women more so than men. (1) So your
Sitka chiropractic back pain specialist at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka will work hard on communicating with our Sitka
chiropractic female patients to motivate them to exercise! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka promises!
MOTIVATION AND NON-SPECIFIC BACK PAIN
Back pain and exercise avoidance kind of go together…for
some Sitka back pain sufferers. You? There are different exercise motivation
profiles. What’s yours? Body concept, pain, disability, level of
activity, and the type of exercise a back pain patient does all influence the back
pain sufferer’s desire to engage with exercise. There
are highly motivated back pain patients (29.1%), independently-convinced-that-exercise-will-help-them
back pain patients (21.7%), controlled convinced patients who know exercise is
good for them but do it only because they feel they have to (19.7%) and less
motivated back pain sufferers (29.5%). Interestingly, competitive
type athletes with back pain oftentimes will fall into the
latter two groups who perform the recommended exercise
only because they have to. (2)
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka recognizes all of these
types in daily Sitka chiropractic practice! No fear!
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka comes up with fitting
approaches for all these types to engage with
exercise in a healthy way.
MOTIVATION AND CHRONIC BACK PAIN
Matching lifestyle goals to activities is an
effective way to inspire a back pain sufferer to
exercise. (3) That
makes sense to Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka! We’ve seen it
before. If we can get a Sitka back pain patient doing
what she wants to do gets her motivated!
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka knows that if a Sitka back pain patient doesn’t like doing squats, she won’t do them. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
recognizes that if a Sitka
back pain patient misses pushing his grandchild on the
swing, he’ll exercise enough to get him back
to being able to swing the grandkids. Right?! So what makes you tick? Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
will listen to you and work with you to figure out your
exercise sweet spot, your exercise plan. It will make a significant
difference in your back pain level, mood, outlook on life, body’s condition, engagement
with life and family and friends. (3) Ready to
