Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care

February 13, 2019

KINESIOPHOBIA. That’s big word. It denote fear that moving may cause pain. It is something your Sitka chiropractor works with Sitka back pain patients every day. It is important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is important, and Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is all about getting our chiropractic patients moving and keeping them moving.

FEAR OF MOVING…AND MORE

Chronic back pain doesn’t just alter the back and spine. It influences 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 influences the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But just how much? Researchers report significantly. (1) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka understands. It’s reasonable to not desire to prompt such back pain if one can avoid it. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka urges slow and gradual return to everyday life motions and to do it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Sitka CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka shares that research studies revealed improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would surely be welcomed by Sitka back pain patients who have lumbar spine stenosis, the most common cause of spine surgery in US adults. Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs provided greater 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 Sitka chiropractor at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka assess muscle activation and balance ability with a one-legged balance posture in older patients and those with chronic low back pain because it’s known that chronic low back pain patients and older people respond with different muscle responses to a variety of physical tasks than those without chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers feel balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is lower.
