Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care
KINESIOPHOBIA. Now, there’s a word! It means fear that moving may cause pain. It is something your Carrolltown chiropractor works with Carrolltown back pain patients all the time. It’s important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is important, and Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is all about getting our chiropractic patients moving and keeping them moving.
FEAR OF MOVING…AND MORE
Chronic back pain does not just alter the back and spine. It alters 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 affects the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But by how much? Researchers write that it is altered significantly. (1) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation understands. It is reasonable to not want to prompt such back pain if one can avoid it. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation encourages slow and gradual return to usual life motions and to do it one day at a time.
MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Carrolltown CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation reports that research studies divulged improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would certainly be welcomed by Carrolltown back pain patients who have lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for 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 reduce pain and restore motion and function. Doctors like your Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation test muscle activation and balance ability with a one-legged balance posture in older patients and those with chronic low back pain because it is known that chronic low back pain patients and older people respond with different muscle responses to a variety of physical tasks than those who do not have chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers have balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is lower.
