Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care

KINESIOPHOBIA. That’s big word. It means fear that moving may cause pain. It’s something your Manchester chiropractor works with Manchester back pain patients all the time. It is important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is critical, and Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 alters 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 just how much? Researchers write that it is altered significantly. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries gets it. It’s reasonable to not want to trigger such back pain if one can avoid it. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries encourages slow and gradual return to usual life motions and to do it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Manchester CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 Manchester back pain patients suffering with lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for 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 return motion and function. Doctors like your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries assess muscle activation and balance ability with a one-legged balance posture in older patients and those with chronic low back pain because it is 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 face balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is lower.
