DON’T FEAR! BE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR SPINE.
Chiropractors witness it every day. McHenry back pain patients avoid
lifting or worry about over-doing it with their spines for things
like lifting out of fear of (re)injury and pain. Researchers write 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 more
loading because of altered spine motion. (1) Fear-avoidance is a pretty
normal reaction in back pain patients. Don’t
feel funny if you do this for some time! Within our
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management, we encourage our back pain patients to get back to normal spinal motions slowly as their pain decreases
and their exercise routine strengthens their spines via McHenry chiropractic
treatment, exercise, and nutrition. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic and you will get there
together! OrthoIllinois 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 the activities
of daily life and her job, like bending, lifting and
twisting.
McHenry 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 describes improvement in cognitive impairment
and lessening of chronic pain as a result of compressed
sciatic nerves in rats. Curcumin is said to ease
chronic constriction injury related behaviors and memory deficits by lowering
inflammatory cytokines. (2) Sciatica
is irritation of the sciatic nerve causing leg pain. If
you have sciatica, do you note issues with cognition? Curcumin’s
anti-inflammatory properties are something to be considered
in the nutritional approach to chronic pain and McHenry sciatic leg
pain. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic does!
