Vancouver 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’s the same with Vancouver back pain. If you believe your back to be painful, it often is. Vancouver Disc Centers cares for back pain patients every day with that balloon-pop instinct for back pain’s intensity. Vancouver Disc Centers strives to help our Vancouver back pain patients feel back pain relief and learn to not expect their backs to hurt.
Vancouver BACK PAIN PERCEPTION
Researchers write that perception of pain is influenced by both the expectation of pain (or no pain) and the actual sensation of pain. However, the greater the difference between the expectation and the pain, the less the expectation of pain or no pain affects the actual experience of pain. (1) It is no wonder, then, that back pain patients - those with spondylosis, intervertebral disc disorders among others – struggle 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 Vancouver back pain patients consists of not just treating the source of back pain but its effects on the whole person, mind and body.
Vancouver BACK PAIN FEAR
Patients fear Vancouver back pain. Patients want a diagnosis, pain control and imaging (often regardless of what the medical guidelines dictate). These perceived needs patient by patients with back pain influence patient outcomes. (3) Back pain specialists who know these perceived needs can address these needs, can talk about these needs and can explain how these needs are being met with the Vancouver chiropractic treatment plan. Your chiropractor wants what is best for you and your sought after and deserved pain relief.
Vancouver BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Fortunately, spinal manipulation proves itself worthy of use by Vancouver back pain patients as research states that it may decrease the expectation of pain, the fear of movement and other related brain responses that chronic low back pain patients need. (As an aside, how were these findings documented? With amazing new MRI technology that studies brain function and blood oxygen level signaling! Amazing!). (4) Your Vancouver chiropractor at Vancouver Disc Centers delivers the gentlest form of spinal manipulation, Cox Technic, that itself is amazing. Another research study documented that manipulation and mobilization likely decrease pain and increase function for chronic low back pain. Manipulation has a better effect than mobilization. Both seemed to be safe interventions leading the researchers to propose that a multimodal treatment plan may be encouraging. (5) Vancouver Disc Centers understands this to be true! Your treatment plan will consist of a mix of treatment approaches to help get you the relief you want.
