St Peters 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 is similar with St Peters back pain. If you believe your back to be painful, it often is. Old Mill Chiropractic cares for back pain patients daily with that balloon-pop instinct for back pain’s intensity. Old Mill Chiropractic strives to help our St Peters back pain patients feel back pain relief and find a way to not expect their backs to hurt.
St Peters BACK PAIN PERCEPTION
Researchers write that perception of pain is affected by both the expectation of pain (or no pain) and the actual sensation of pain. However, the bigger the difference between the expectation and the pain, the less the expectation of pain or no pain affects the actual experience of pain. (1) It's not surprising, then, that back pain patients - those with spondylosis, intervertebral disc disorders among others – struggle with depression. (2) They expect a life without back pain, yet they suffer with back pain. There’s a disconnect between perception and reality. Caring for St Peters back pain patients consists of not just treating the source of back pain but its effects on the whole person, mind and body.
St Peters BACK PAIN FEAR
Patients fear St Peters 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 St Peters chiropractic treatment plan. Your chiropractor wants what is best for you and your sought after and deserved pain relief.
St Peters BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Luckily, spinal manipulation shows itself worthy of use by St Peters back pain patients as research states 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 documented? With amazing new MRI technology that examines brain function and blood oxygen level signaling! Amazing!). (4) Your St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill Chiropractic delivers the gentlest type 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 greater effect than mobilization. Both seemed to be safe interventions leading the researchers to propose that a multimodal treatment plan may be encouraging. (5) Old Mill Chiropractic understands this to be true! Your treatment plan will consist of a mix of treatment tactics to help get you the relief you want.
