Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Care Relief for Back Pain and Fear of Back Pain

February 19, 2019

Have you noticed that if you see someone with a pin approach a balloon, you flinch or cover your ears? You know there is a pop coming. It is the same with Fernandina Beach back pain. If you expect your back to hurt, it often is. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic cares for back pain patients daily with that balloon-pop instinct for back pain’s intensity. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic strives to help our Fernandina Beach back pain patients feel back pain relief and learn to not expect their backs to hurt.

Fernandina Beach BACK PAIN PERCEPTION

Researchers write that perception of pain is influenced by both the expectation of pain (or no pain) and the actual sensation of pain. However, the bigger the difference between the expectation and the pain, the less the expectation of pain or no pain affects the actual experience of pain. (1) It's not surprising, then, that back pain patients - those with spondylosis, intervertebral disc disorders among others – have issues with depression. (2) They expect a life without back pain, yet they suffer with  back pain. There’s a disconnect between perception and reality. Treating Fernandina Beach back pain patients consists of not just treating the source of back pain but its influences on the whole person, mind and body.

Fernandina Beach BACK PAIN FEAR

Patients fear Fernandina Beach back pain. Patients want a diagnosis, pain control and imaging (often despite what the medical guidelines dictate). These perceived patient needs affect patient outcomes. (3) Back pain specialists who understand these perceived needs can deal with these needs, can talk about these needs and can explain how these needs are being met with the Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment plan. Your chiropractor wants what is best for you and your desired and deserved pain relief.

Fernandina Beach BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION

Luckily, spinal manipulation proves itself worthy of use by Fernandina Beach back pain patients as research reports that it may decrease the expectation of pain, the fear of movement and other related brain responses that chronic low back pain patients feel. (As a side note, how were these findings discovered? With amazing new MRI technology that examines brain function and blood oxygen level signaling! Amazing!).  (4) Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic delivers the gentlest form of spinal manipulation, Cox Technic, that itself is amazing. Another research study documented that manipulation and mobilization likely decrease pain and increase function for chronic low back pain. Manipulation has a greater effect than mobilization. Both appeared to be safe interventions leading the researchers to propose that a multimodal treatment plan may be promising. (5) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows this to be true! Your treatment plan will consist of a variety of treatment approaches to help get you the relief you want.
