San Jose 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 witness it every day. San Jose back pain sufferers stay away from lifting or worry about over-doing it with their spines for things like lifting due to fear of (re)injury and pain. Researchers write that chronic low back pain patients are inclined to protect their spines by lifting using a reduced 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 encounter extra loading because of 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 slowly as their pain lowers and their exercise routine strengthens their spines via San Jose chiropractic treatment, exercise, and nutrition. Chiropractic Solutions and you will get there together! Chiropractic Solutions 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 normal motions of daily life and her job, like bending, lifting and twisting.

San Jose chiropractic nutrition integration is important, particularly when curcumin is shown to be an anti-inflammatory benefit.

San Jose CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: CURCUMIN FOR CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF AND IMPROVED COGNITION

Cognitive impairment is observed in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. A recent study on the effects of curcumin describes improvement in cognitive impairment and lessening of chronic pain due to compressed sciatic nerves in rats. Curcumin is reported to ease 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 note issues with cognition? Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties are something to be thought about in the nutritional approach to chronic pain and San Jose sciatic leg pain. Chiropractic Solutions does!
