Minster Chiropractic Center Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care

KINESIOPHOBIA. That’s big word. It means fear that moving may cause pain. It is something your Minster chiropractor works with Minster back pain patients every day. It’s important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is important, and Minster Chiropractic Center is all about getting our chiropractic patients moving and keeping them moving.

FEAR OF MOVING…AND MORE

Chronic back pain doesn’t just affect 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. No doubt such fear influences the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But by how much? Researchers write that it is altered significantly. (1) Minster Chiropractic Center gets it. It is wise to not desire to trigger such back pain if one can avoid it. Minster Chiropractic Center encourages slow and gradual return to everyday life motions and to take it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Minster CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Minster Chiropractic Center 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 Minster back pain patients suffering with lumbar spine stenosis, the most common cause of spine surgery in US adults.  Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs delivered better 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 Minster chiropractor at Minster Chiropractic Center test 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 respond with different muscle responses to various physical tasks than those who do not have chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers experience balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is lower.
