DON’T FEAR! BE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR SPINE.
Chiropractors see it every day. St Peters back pain sufferers avoid lifting or worry about using their spines for things like lifting out of fear of (re)injury and pain. Researchers state that chronic low back pain patients are inclined to protect their spines by lifting utilizing a diminished lumbar spine range of motion. Doing this for a long stretch of time may end up hurting more than helping. The lumbar spine tissues may experience extra loading because of altered spine motion. (1) Fear-avoidance is a pretty normal response in back pain patients. Don’t feel funny if you do this for a while! Within our Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management, we guide our back pain patients to return to normal spinal motions slowly as their pain decreases and their exercise routine strengthens their spines via St Peters chiropractic treatment, exercise, and nutrition. Old Mill Chiropractic and you will get there together! Old Mill Chiropractic 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.
St Peters CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: CURCUMIN FOR CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF AND IMPROVED COGNITION
Cognitive impairment is observed in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. A new study on the effects of curcumin reports improvement in cognitive impairment and reduction of chronic pain due to compressed sciatic nerves in rats. Curcumin is said to ease chronic constriction injury related behaviors and memory deficits by lowering inflammatory cytokines. (2) The sciatic nerve is irritated in sciatica 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 St Peters sciatic leg pain. Old Mill Chiropractic does!
