Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 Manahawkin chiropractor works with Manahawkin back pain patients every day. It’s vital to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is critical, and Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 affects 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 alters the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But by how much? Researchers write that it is altered significantly. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center understands. It’s reasonable to not desire to prompt such back pain if one can avoid it. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center urges slow and gradual return to usual life motions and to take it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 Manahawkin back pain patients suffering with lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for spine surgery in US adults.  Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs provided 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 best to decrease pain and return motion and function. Doctors like your Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 established that chronic low back pain patients and older people are different in their muscle responses to various physical tasks than those who do not have chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers undergo balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is worse.
