Satterwhite Chiropractic Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care

February 13, 2019

KINESIOPHOBIA. That’s big word. It means fear that moving may cause pain. It is something your Oxford chiropractor works with Oxford back pain patients every day. It’s 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 does not just alter the back and spine. It influences the back pain sufferer’s emotions and physicality, too. Kinesiophobia is a more extreme fear of pain or re-injury upon movement. Understandably such fear influences the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But just how much? Researchers say significantly. (1) Satterwhite Chiropractic understands. It is wise to not desire to prompt such back pain if one can escape it. Satterwhite Chiropractic encourages slow and gradual return to usual life motions and to do it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Oxford CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Satterwhite Chiropractic shares that research studies divulged improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would certainly be well received by Oxford back pain patients who have lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for spine surgery in US adults. Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs offered better 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 Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic assess muscle activation and balance ability with a one-legged balance stance in older patients and those with chronic low back pain because it’s accepted that chronic low back pain patients and older people are different in their muscle responses to a variety of physical tasks than those who don’t have chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers undergo balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is lower.
