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 in Malverne back pain sufferers. When
back pain enters the scene, fear avoidant behavior tends
to creep in with it. Back pain specialists like your
Malverne chiropractic physician recognize the effects
of fear and fear avoidance on Malverne back pain and neck pain
patients. Fear keeps Malverne back pain
sufferers from doing the simplest things because they
worry that they may hurt. The spine
is pretty resilient, but when it’s damaged
its sturdiness fades in the mind of its
owner. Malverne Health & Wellness helps Malverne back pain
sufferers contain the fear of back pain with
information, care, and movement.
The Sense of Fear
Fear itself makes sense. If you feel
pain with something, you seek to avoid that something like
shuffling paper in a way that you get a paper cut or bending a certain way that
produces leg pain. If you have back pain when you move, you attempt not to move like
that to avoid back pain. Avoiding back pain-producing activity
for a Malverne back pain sufferer wanting to protect his or her
damaged back makes good sense. Researchers point out though that
if a back pain sufferer experiences pain in the early days of
back pain and does not make a huge deal out of it, he
or she doesn’t get caught in trying to avoid
movement, in the fear avoidance cycle. (1) Malverne Health & Wellness empathizes
with the Malverne back pain patient who doesn’t desire
to move too much because of fear that his or her back will
hurt again or maybe even worse than before.
Malverne Health & Wellness positively gets Malverne back pain
sufferers moving and doing their normal activities of daily life
one tiny motion at a time!
Gentle Care and Motion
Malverne Health & Wellness incorporates motion
into its in-office chiropractic care and its at-home recommendation care. Malverne Health & Wellness
is all about motion and easing back pain and the fear that goes
along with it. Adding manipulation to the
treatment of low back pain earlier enhanced the success
of manipulation on back pain relief and decreased the use of
medication to control the pain. (2) The Malverne chiropractic
treatment plan at Malverne Health & Wellness involves gentle, comforting
Cox Technic to make larger the spinal canal and relieve
pressure on the spinal nerves and bring motion back to the
spine as the back pain and/or leg pain eases.
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 Malverne Health & Wellness. Listen
in to this podcast of a patient who did not want a second back
surgery and found relief with Cox Technic. He even got back
to exercising and moving which he quit due to pain!
