It’s vital to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is necessary, and Executive Chiropractic of Iowa 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 influences 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 just how much? Researchers write that it is altered significantly. (1) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa understands. It is wise to not want to trigger such back pain if one can avoid it. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa encourages slow but sure return to usual life motions and to do it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE West Des Moines CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Executive Chiropractic of Iowa shares that research studies divulged improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would certainly be welcomed by West Des Moines back pain patients suffering with lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for spine surgery in US adults.  Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs provided 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 West Des Moines chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa 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 accepted 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 face balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is worse.
