Ashburn and Herndon Chiropractic Care Relief for Back Pain and Fear of Back Pain

February 19, 2019

Have you found yourself flinching when someone approaches a balloon with a pin? You know there is a noise coming. It is similar with Ashburn and Herndon back pain. If you anticipate that your back to hurt, it often is. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn cares for back pain patients daily with that balloon-pop instinct for back pain’s intensity. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn strives to help our Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients feel back pain relief and learn to not expect their backs to hurt.

Ashburn and Herndon BACK PAIN PERCEPTION

Researchers publish that perception of pain is shaped 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 influences the real experience of pain. (1) It is 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 is a disconnect between perception and reality. Caring for Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients involves not just treating the source of back pain but its influences on the whole person, mind and body.

Ashburn and Herndon BACK PAIN FEAR

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

Ashburn and Herndon BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION

Luckily, spinal manipulation shows itself worthy of use by Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients as research states that it may reduce the expectation of pain, the fear of movement and other related brain responses that chronic low back pain patients experience. (As a side note, how were these findings documented? With amazing new MRI technology that investigates brain function and blood oxygen level signaling! Amazing!).  (4) Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers the gentlest form of spinal manipulation, Cox Technic, that itself is amazing. Another research study reported that manipulation and mobilization likely reduce pain and improve function for chronic low back pain. Manipulation has a better effect than mobilization. Both appeared to be safe interventions guiding the researchers to suggest that a multimodal treatment plan may be promising. (5) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn understands this to be true! Your treatment plan will involve a mix of treatment tactics to help get you the relief you want.
