West Des Moines Chiropractic Care Relief for Back Pain and Fear of Back Pain
Have you found yourself flinching when someone approaches a balloon with a pin? You know there’s a noise coming. It’s similar with West Des Moines back pain. If you expect your back to hurt, it often is. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa cares for back pain patients daily with that balloon-pop instinct for back pain’s intensity. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa works to help our West Des Moines back pain patients feel back pain relief and learn to not expect their backs to hurt.
West Des Moines BACK PAIN PERCEPTION
Researchers publish that perception of pain is shaped by both the expectation of pain (or no pain) and the real sensation of pain. However, the bigger the difference between the expectation and the pain, the less the expectation of pain or no pain affects the actual experience of pain. (1) It is not surprising, then, that back pain patients - those with spondylosis, intervertebral disc disorders among others – struggle with depression. (2) They expect a life without back pain, yet they suffer with back pain. There’s a disconnect between perception and reality. Caring for West Des Moines back pain patients involves not just treating the basis of back pain but its influences on the whole person, mind and body.
West Des Moines BACK PAIN FEAR
Patients fear West Des Moines back pain. Patients want a diagnosis, pain control and imaging (often regardless of what the medical guidelines dictate). These perceived needs patient by patients with back pain affect patient outcomes. (3) Back pain specialists who know these perceived needs can address these needs, can discuss these needs and can describe how these needs are being met with the West Des Moines chiropractic treatment plan. Your chiropractor wants what is best for you and your sought after and deserved pain relief.
West Des Moines BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Luckily, spinal manipulation shows itself worthy of use by West Des Moines back pain patients as research reports that it may reduce the expectation of pain, the fear of movement and other associated brain responses that chronic low back pain patients need. (As a side note, how were these findings recorded? With amazing new MRI technology that examines brain function and blood oxygen level signaling! Amazing!). (4) Your West Des Moines chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa delivers the gentlest form of spinal manipulation, Cox Technic, that itself is amazing. Another research study reported that manipulation and mobilization likely decrease pain and improve function for chronic low back pain. Manipulation has a better effect than mobilization. Both seemed to be safe interventions leading the researchers to suggest that a multimodal treatment plan may be encouraging. (5) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa knows this to be true! Your treatment plan will consist of a mix of treatment tactics to help get you the relief you want.
