Georgetown Chiropractic Care Relief for Back Pain and Fear of Back Pain
Have you noticed that if you see someone with a pin approach a balloon, you flinch or cover your ears? You know there is a noise coming. It is the same with Georgetown back pain. If you believe your back to be painful, it often is. Dr. Butwell cares for back pain patients daily with that balloon-pop instinct for back pain’s intensity. Dr. Butwell strives to help our Georgetown back pain patients feel back pain relief and find a way to not expect their backs to hurt.
Georgetown BACK PAIN PERCEPTION
Researchers publish that perception of pain is influenced by both the expectation of pain (or no pain) and the actual 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 real experience of pain. (1) It's 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’s a disconnect between perception and reality. Treating Georgetown back pain patients consists of not just treating the source of back pain but its effects on the whole person, mind and body.
Georgetown BACK PAIN FEAR
Patients fear Georgetown 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 know these perceived needs can address these needs, can talk about these needs and can explain how these needs are being met with the Georgetown chiropractic treatment plan. Your chiropractor wants what is best for you and your desired and deserved pain relief.
Georgetown BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Luckily, spinal manipulation proves itself worthy of use by Georgetown back pain patients as research tells that it may reduce the expectation of pain, the fear of movement and other associated brain responses that chronic low back pain patients need. (As a side note, how were these findings discovered? With amazing new MRI technology that examines brain function and blood oxygen level signaling! Amazing!). (4) Your Georgetown chiropractor at Dr. Butwell offers the gentlest type 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 propose that a multimodal treatment plan may be encouraging. (5) Dr. Butwell understands this to be true! Your treatment plan will consist of a variety of treatment approaches to help get you the relief you want.
