September 05, 2017

Fear of the “damaged spine.” It’s a most common feeling to have about any number of things in life. Fear avoidance. It is common in Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers. When back pain enters the scene, fear avoidant behavior tends to creep in with it. Back pain specialists like your Fernandina Beach chiropractic physician are aware of the influences of fear and fear avoidance on Fernandina Beach back pain and neck pain patients. Fear prevents Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers from doing the simplest things out of concern that they may experience pain. The spine is rather resilient, but when it is damaged its sturdiness fades in the mind of its owner. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic helps Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers contain the fear of back pain through 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 elicits 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-provoking activity for a Fernandina Beach back pain sufferer wanting to protect his or her damaged back makes good sense. Researchers explain 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 doesn’t get trapped in trying to avoid movement, in the fear avoidance cycle.
