Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care

February 13, 2019

KINESIOPHOBIA. Now, there’s a word! It means fear that moving may cause pain. It is something your Groton chiropractor works with Groton back pain patients every day. It is important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is critical, and Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is all about getting our chiropractic patients moving and keeping them moving.

FEAR OF MOVING…AND MORE

Chronic back pain does not just alter 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. No doubt such fear affects the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But by how much? Researchers report significantly. (1) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office understands. It is reasonable to not want to prompt such back pain if one can avoid it. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office urges slow and gradual return to everyday life motions and to do it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Groton CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office reports that research studies divulged improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would surely be welcomed by Groton back pain patients who have 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. (2)

BALANCE, MUSCLE AND BACK PAIN

Individualized treatment plans are best to decrease pain and return motion and function. Doctors like your Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office test muscle activation and balance ability with a one-legged balance posture in older patients and those with chronic low back pain because it’s 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 have balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is worse.
