DON’T FEAR! BE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR SPINE.
Chiropractors see fear
avoidance every day. Colorado Springs back pain patients 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
using a diminished lumbar spine range of motion. Doing
this for a long period of time may end up hurting more than
helping. The lumbar spine tissues may experience more
loading due to altered spine motion. (1) Fear-avoidance is a natural reaction in back pain patients. Do not
feel weird if you do this for a while! Within our
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management, we guide our back pain patients to get back to normal spinal motions gradually as their pain lowers
and their exercise routine strengthens their spines via Colorado Springs chiropractic
treatment, exercise, and nutrition. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR and you will get there
together! The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR 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 describes
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, like bending, lifting and
twisting.
Colorado Springs CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: CURCUMIN FOR CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF AND
IMPROVED COGNITION
Cognitive impairment is seen
in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. A new study on the
effects of curcumin reports improvement in cognitive impairment
and lessening of chronic pain due to compressed
sciatic nerves in rats. Curcumin is said to alleviate
chronic constriction injury related behaviors and memory deficits by lowering
inflammatory cytokines. (2) Sciatica
is irritation of the sciatic nerve resulting in leg pain. If
you have sciatica, do you notice issues with cognition? Curcumin’s
anti-inflammatory properties are something to be considered
in the nutritional approach to chronic pain and Colorado Springs sciatic leg
pain. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR does!
