Motivations Role in Sitka Exercise for Back Pain Relief

July 18, 2017

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 – come to terms with exercise that will relieve and even control and possibly fend off 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 most appropriate way to communicate with you about your back pain condition and how to help and combat its pain with exercise. One new research paper reveals that communication develops exercise program adherence and clinical outcomes for women more effectively 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 is 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 sometimes fall into the latter two groups who do the prescribed exercise only because they feel they must. (2) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka spots all of these types in day-to-day Sitka chiropractic practice! No fear! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka comes up with appropriate approaches for all these types to take part in exercise in a healthy way.

MOTIVATION AND CHRONIC BACK PAIN

Matching lifestyle goals to activities is a good way to inspire a back pain sufferer to exercise. (3) That makes sense to Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka! We’ve witnessed it before. If we can get a Sitka back pain patient to do what he wants to do gets him motivated! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka knows that if a Sitka back pain patient doesn’t like to lift weights, he will not lift weights. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka knows that if a Sitka back pain patient likes to walk her dog, she will walk. Yes?! 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 big difference in your back pain level, mood, outlook on life, body’s condition, engagement with life and family and friends. (3) Ready to start?
