Satterwhite 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 Oxford chiropractor works with Oxford back pain patients every day. It is vital to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is critical, and Satterwhite Chiropractic 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 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 influences the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But by how much? Researchers say significantly. (1) Satterwhite Chiropractic understands. It’s reasonable to not want to trigger such back pain if one can avoid it. Satterwhite Chiropractic urges slow and gradual return to everyday life motions and to take it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Oxford CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Satterwhite 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 Oxford 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.

BALANCE, MUSCLE AND BACK PAIN

Individualized treatment plans are superior to reduce pain and restore motion and function. Doctors like your Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite 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 is accepted 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 face balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is worse.
