Pflugerville Wellness Center Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care

KINESIOPHOBIA. That’s big word. It denote fear that moving may cause pain. It’s something your Pflugerville chiropractor works with Pflugerville back pain patients every day. It’s important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is important, and Pflugerville Wellness 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 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 influences the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But by how much? Researchers say significantly. (1) Pflugerville Wellness Center understands. It’s reasonable to not desire to prompt such back pain if one can escape it. Pflugerville Wellness Center encourages slow but sure return to usual life motions and to do it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Pflugerville CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Pflugerville Wellness Center shares that research studies revealed improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would certainly be well received by Pflugerville 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 return motion and function. Doctors like your Pflugerville chiropractor at Pflugerville Wellness Center 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 a variety of physical tasks than those without chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers feel balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is lower.
