San Jose Chiropractic Care Relief for Back Pain and Fear of Back Pain
Have you found yourself flinching when someone approaches a balloon with a pin? You know there is a pop coming. It is similar with San Jose back pain. If you expect your back to hurt, it often is. Chiropractic Solutions cares for back pain patients every day with that balloon-pop instinct for back pain’s intensity. Chiropractic Solutions works to help our San Jose back pain patients experience back pain relief and find a way to not expect their backs to hurt.
San Jose BACK PAIN PERCEPTION
Researchers write that perception of pain is affected by both the expectation of pain (or no pain) and the real sensation of pain. However, the greater the difference between the expectation and the pain, the less the expectation of pain or no pain influences the actual experience of pain. (1) It is not surprising, then, that back pain patients - those with spondylosis, intervertebral disc disorders among others – struggle with depression. (2) They expect a life without back pain, yet they suffer with back pain. There is a disconnect between perception and reality. Treating San Jose back pain patients involves not just treating the source of back pain but its effects on the whole person, mind and body.
San Jose BACK PAIN FEAR
Patients fear San Jose back pain. Patients desire a diagnosis, pain control and imaging (often despite what the medical guidelines say). These perceived needs patient by patients with back pain influence 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 San Jose chiropractic treatment plan. Your chiropractor wants what is best for you and your sought after and deserved pain relief.
San Jose BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Luckily, spinal manipulation proves itself worthy of use by San Jose 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 experience. (As a side note, how were these findings discovered? With amazing new MRI technology that studies brain function and blood oxygen level signaling! Amazing!). (4) Your San Jose chiropractor at Chiropractic Solutions offers the gentlest form of spinal manipulation, Cox Technic, that itself is amazing. Another research study reported that manipulation and mobilization likely decrease pain and increase function for chronic low back pain. Manipulation has a greater effect than mobilization. Both seemed to be safe interventions leading the researchers to suggest that a multimodal treatment plan may be encouraging. (5) Chiropractic Solutions understands this to be true! Your treatment plan will consist of a variety of treatment tactics to help get you the relief you want.
