Fernandina Beach chiropractic care encourages back pain patients to resist the urge to avoid normal spine motion once they are through their pain.

DON’T FEAR! BE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR SPINE.

Chiropractors see fear avoidance every day. Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers stay away from lifting or worry about using their spines for things like lifting due to fear of (re)injury and pain. Researchers report that chronic low back pain patients tend to protect their spines by lifting utilizing a diminished lumbar spine range of motion. Doing this for a long stretch of time may end up hurting more than helping. The lumbar spine tissues may experience more loading because of altered spine motion. (1) Fear-avoidance is a pretty normal response in back pain patients. Don’t feel funny if you do this for a while! Within our Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management, we encourage our back pain patients to return to normal spinal motions slowly as their pain decreases and their exercise routine strengthens their spines via Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment, exercise, and nutrition. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic and you will get there together! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is your partner in controlling back pain, so it does not control you.

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Clint Dickason on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he explains his care of a nurse with back pain and sciatic leg pain using the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to help her get back to doing the activities of daily life and her job, including bending, lifting and twisting.

Fernandina Beach chiropractic nutrition integration is important, especially when curcumin is shown to be an anti-inflammatory benefit.

Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: CURCUMIN FOR CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF AND IMPROVED COGNITION

Cognitive impairment is seen in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. A recent study on the effects of curcumin describes improvement in cognitive impairment and reduction of chronic pain as a result of compressed sciatic nerves in rats. Curcumin is reported to ease chronic constriction injury related behaviors and memory deficits by reducing inflammatory cytokines. (2) The sciatic nerve is irritated in sciatica resulting in leg pain. If you have sciatica, do you note issues with cognition? Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties are something to be thought about in the nutritional approach to chronic pain and Fernandina Beach sciatic leg pain. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic does!
