Old Mill Chiropractic Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care
KINESIOPHOBIA. That’s big word. It denote fear that moving may cause pain. It is something your St Peters chiropractor works with St Peters back pain patients every day. It’s important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is important, and Old Mill Chiropractic is all about getting our chiropractic patients moving and keeping them moving.
FEAR OF MOVING…AND MORE
Chronic back pain doesn’t just affect the back and spine. It affects the back pain sufferer’s emotions and physicality, too. Kinesiophobia is a more extreme fear of pain or re-injury upon movement. No doubt such fear alters the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But just how much? Researchers say significantly. (1) Old Mill Chiropractic gets it. It’s wise to not want to prompt such back pain if one can escape it. Old Mill Chiropractic urges slow but sure return to everyday life motions and to do it one day at a time.
MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE St Peters CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN
Old Mill Chiropractic 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 St Peters back pain patients who have lumbar spine stenosis, the most common cause of spine surgery in US adults. Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs delivered 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 St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill Chiropractic test muscle activation and balance ability with a one-legged balance posture in older patients and those with chronic low back pain because it’s established that chronic low back pain patients and older people respond with different muscle responses to a variety of physical tasks than those who don’t have chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers feel balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is worse.
