Vancouver Disc Centers 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 Vancouver chiropractor works with Vancouver back pain patients all the time. It is vital to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is critical, and Vancouver Disc Centers is all about getting our chiropractic patients moving and keeping them moving.

FEAR OF MOVING…AND MORE

Chronic back pain does not 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 affects the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But just how much? Researchers write that it is altered significantly. (1) Vancouver Disc Centers gets it. It’s wise to not desire to trigger such back pain if one can avoid it. Vancouver Disc Centers encourages slow and gradual return to usual life motions and to do it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Vancouver CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Vancouver Disc Centers reports that research studies divulged improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would surely be well received by Vancouver back pain patients suffering with lumbar spine stenosis, the most common cause of spine surgery in US adults.  Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs offered 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 reduce pain and restore motion and function. Doctors like your Vancouver chiropractor at Vancouver Disc Centers 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 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 lower.
