Oxford 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 the same with Oxford back pain. If you expect your back to be painful, it often is. Satterwhite Chiropractic cares for back pain patients every day with that balloon-pop instinct for back pain’s intensity. Satterwhite Chiropractic works to help our Oxford back pain patients experience back pain relief and learn to not expect their backs to hurt.
Oxford BACK PAIN PERCEPTION
Researchers publish 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 influences the real experience of pain. (1) It's not surprising, then, that back pain patients - those with spondylosis, intervertebral disc disorders among others – have issues with depression. (2) They expect a life without back pain, yet they suffer with back pain. There is a disconnect between perception and reality. Treating Oxford back pain patients consists of not just treating the basis of back pain but its effects on the whole person, mind and body.
Oxford BACK PAIN FEAR
Patients fear Oxford back pain. Patients want a diagnosis, pain control and imaging (often despite what the medical guidelines say). These perceived needs patient by patients with back pain affect patient outcomes. (3) Back pain specialists who understand these perceived needs can deal with these needs, can talk about these needs and can describe how these needs are being met with the Oxford chiropractic treatment plan. Your chiropractor wants what is best for you and your sought after and deserved pain relief.
Oxford BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Fortunately, spinal manipulation proves itself worthy of use by Oxford back pain patients as research tells that it may decrease the expectation of pain, the fear of movement and other associated brain responses that chronic low back pain patients feel. (As an aside, how were these findings recorded? With amazing new MRI technology that examines brain function and blood oxygen level signaling! Amazing!). (4) Your Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic offers the gentlest form of spinal manipulation, Cox Technic, that itself is amazing. Another research study documented that manipulation and mobilization likely decrease pain and improve function for chronic low back pain. Manipulation has a better effect than mobilization. Both appeared to be safe interventions guiding the researchers to propose that a multimodal treatment plan may be encouraging. (5) Satterwhite Chiropractic knows this to be true! Your treatment plan will involve a mix of treatment tactics to help get you the relief you want.
