Executive Chiropractic of Iowa Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care
KINESIOPHOBIA. Now, there’s a word! It denote fear that moving may cause pain. It is something your West Des Moines chiropractor works with West Des Moines back pain patients every day. It is vital to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is critical, 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 does not 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. Understandably such fear alters the back pain sufferer’s quality of life, disability and pain intensity. But by how much? Researchers write that it is altered significantly. (1) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa gets it. It’s wise to not want to trigger such back pain if one can escape it. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa urges slow but sure return to usual life motions and to take it one day at a time.
MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE West Des Moines CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa reports 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 cause of spine surgery in US adults. Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs offered greater 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 superior to reduce pain and return motion and function. Doctors like your West Des Moines chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa 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 known that chronic low back pain patients and older people respond with different muscle responses to a variety of physical tasks than those who don’t have chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers face balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is lower.
