DON’T FEAR! BE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR SPINE.
Chiropractors witness it every day. Richmond 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 state that chronic
low back pain patients tend to protect their spines by lifting
using a reduced 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 encounter extra
loading due to altered spine motion. (1) Fear-avoidance is a pretty
normal response 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 encourage our back pain patients to get back to normal spinal motions gradually as their pain decreases
and their exercise routine strengthens their spines via Richmond chiropractic
treatment, exercise, and nutrition. Johnson Chiropractic and you will get there
together! Johnson Chiropractic is your partner in controlling back pain, so it doesn’t control you.
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Clint Dickason on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he explains
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.
Richmond CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: CURCUMIN FOR CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF AND
IMPROVED COGNITION
Cognitive impairment is seen
in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. A recent 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 reported to alleviate
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 notice issues with cognition? Curcumin’s
anti-inflammatory properties are something to be considered
in the nutritional approach to chronic pain and Richmond sciatic leg
pain. Johnson Chiropractic does!
