Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation Calms Patients Fear Of Returned Back Pain With Chiropractic Care

KINESIOPHOBIA. Now, there’s a word! It means fear that moving may cause pain. It’s something your Baton Rouge chiropractor works with Baton Rouge back pain patients every day. It’s important to move and not fear movement. Life is motion. Motion is life. Movement is critical, and Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation 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 affects 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 say significantly. (1) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation understands. It is wise to not desire to trigger such back pain if one can avoid it. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation encourages slow but sure return to everyday life motions and to take it one day at a time.

MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE Baton Rouge CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HEALING PLAN

Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation reports that research studies revealed improvement in walking capacity with non-surgical care for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. This would surely be welcomed by Baton Rouge back pain patients suffering with lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for 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.

BALANCE, MUSCLE AND BACK PAIN

Individualized treatment plans are superior to reduce pain and restore motion and function. Doctors like your Baton Rouge chiropractor at Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation 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 accepted that chronic low back pain patients and older people respond with different muscle responses to a variety of physical tasks than those who do not have chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain sufferers have balance issues, too. Their trunk muscle activation during balance tasks is worse. (3) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation can find out much about Baton Rouge back pain patient’s condition with some of the simplest tests…and individualize the treatment plan as required: Cox® Technic, nutrition and exercise.
