Fear of the “damaged spine.” It’s a most common
feeling to have about any number of things in life. Fear avoidance.
It’s common for Williamson back pain sufferers. When
back pain enters the scene, fear avoidant behavior also creeps in with it. Back pain specialists like your
Williamson chiropractic physician recognize the influences
of fear and fear avoidance on Williamson back pain and neck pain
patients. Fear limits Williamson back pain
sufferers from doing the simplest things out of concern that they may experience pain. The spine
is pretty sturdy, but when it’s damaged
its sturdiness disappears in the mind of its
owner. Apple Country Chiropractic helps Williamson back pain
sufferers manage the fear of back pain through
information, care, and movement.
The Sense of Fear
Fear itself makes sense. If you suffer
pain with something, you try to avoid that something like
shuffling paper in a way that you get a paper cut or bending a certain way that
cauess leg pain. If you suffer
with back pain when you move, you attempt not to move like
that to avoid back pain. Avoiding back pain-producing activity
for a Williamson back pain sufferer wanting to protect his or her
damaged back makes good sense. Researchers point out though that
if a back pain sufferer feels pain in the early days of
back pain and doesn’t make a huge deal out of it, he
or she does not get trapped in trying to avoid
movement, in the fear avoidance cycle. (1) Apple Country Chiropractic understands
with the Williamson back pain patient who does not want
to move too much because of fear that his or her back will
hurt again or maybe even worse than that last time.
Apple Country Chiropractic positively gets Williamson back pain
sufferers moving and performing their normal activities of daily life
one small motion at a time!
Gentle Care and Motion
Apple Country Chiropractic joins motion
into its in-office chiropractic care and its at-home recommendation care. Apple Country Chiropractic
is all about motion and relieving back pain and the fear that accompanies it. Incorporating manipulation to the
treatment of low back pain earlier sped up the effectiveness
of manipulation on back pain relief and decreased the use of
medication to manage the pain. (2) The Williamson chiropractic
treatment plan at Apple Country Chiropractic includes gentle, comforting
Cox Technic to make larger the spinal canal and lighten
pressure on the spinal nerves as well as bring motion back to the
spine as the back pain and/or leg pain lessens.
Make an Appointment
Fear may be a good thing, too. Fear of back surgery may spur
a back pain sufferer to pursue non-surgical care like
that offered at Apple Country Chiropractic. Listen
in to this podcast of a patient who did not want a second back
surgery and found relief with Cox Technic. He even returned
to exercising and moving which he quit due to pain!
