Fear of the “damaged spine.” It’s a most common
feeling to have about any number of things in life. Fear avoidance.
It is common for Manchester back pain sufferers. When
back pain enters the scene, fear avoidant behavior tends
to creep in with it. Back pain specialists like your
Manchester chiropractic physician recognize the influences
of fear and fear avoidance on Manchester back pain and neck pain
patients. Fear prevents Manchester back pain
sufferers from doing the simplest things out of concern that they may make the pain worse. The spine
is rather resilient, but when it is damaged
its sturdiness disappears in the mind of its
owner. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries assists Manchester back pain
sufferers cope with the fear of back pain through
information, care, and movement.
The Sense of Fear
Fear itself makes sense. If you suffer
pain with something, you attempt to avoid that something like
shuffling paper in a way that you get a paper cut or bending a certain way that
elicits leg pain. If you feel back pain when you move, you attempt not to move like
that to avoid back pain. Avoiding back pain-provoking activity
for a Manchester back pain sufferer wanting to protect his or her
damaged back makes good sense. Researchers point out though that
if a back pain sufferer has pain in the early days of
back pain and doesn’t make a big deal out of it, he
or she doesn’t get caught in trying to avoid
movement, in the fear avoidance cycle. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries understands

to move too much out of fear that his or her back will
hurt again or maybe even worse than that last time.
