“Just give me something to stop the pain.” or “Just do something
so I don’t hurt.” are just two comments Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation and
fellow back pain healthcare practitioners hear all
the time. When in pain, we all just want it to stop in the least
effort required and fastest way possible. This is not
always possible though. We all need to look at our pain and make
friends with it to some extent. We have to see it for what it is.
Temporary. Unwelcome. Disruptive. But manageable many times when engaged. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation urges
our Tonawanda back pain patients and neck pain patients to take
part in their back pain relief process. It makes
a difference. It may perhaps even alter your life for
the better. Many Tonawanda chiropractic patients have experienced this.
SELF-MANAGEMENT BENEFITS
Amazingly up to 25% of back pain patients in
a new study weren’t actively engaged in their
spine care treatment plan. Research is filled with reports
emphasizing the significance of patient-involvement in treatment of spine pain. What kept such patients participating?
In researcher-ease, environmental context and resources, emotion, memory/attention/decision-making,
and behavioural regulation did. Knowing that these things were the
interfering culprits that reduced
patients’ participation in their own care, researchers created a distinctive
plan to deal with these issues and raise
the patients’ understanding and participation via text reminders, exercises,
lifestyle changes, webinars, videos, paper educational materials and more. (1) One
study discovered that a variety of approaches to lessen
disability and work absenteeism was cost effective though no one particular
intervention stood out over others. (2) Like these researchers, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
tries to do whatever it takes to help our Tonawanda
back pain and neck pain patients!
SPINE EXERCISES AND EMS
This may be a unique helpful intervention for certain
patients: whole-body electromyostimulation. It dropped
nonspecific chronic low back pain equally as well as back-strengthening
exercise protocols. When fear of movement and functional limitations due to back pain are a part of the problem, whole body
electrical stimulation helped fearful patients with their
strength and stabilization in a timely fashion, reducing
pain intensity and enhancing trunk flexors. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
shares such options to help our patients.
SELF-MANAGEMENT APP
Ever heard the saying “There’s
an app for that!”? Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is sure you have! Not
surprising45 in today’s app-crazy world that there is an app in development to help you keep track of self-management
tasks like exercise, sleep, etc. For the “selfBACK” app, researchers are currently
collecting data on the effectiveness of
various interventions at baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, and 9 months
for nonspecific low back pain. From this data collection,
researchers plan to fill the app with tips and exercises that have
worked for others experiencing similar issues. Each
patient’s app will then be customized for
self-management of back pain and other musculoskeletal issues based on
what others with similar conditions reported helpful and
relieving. (4) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation looks forward to saying “There is an app for
that!" Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows that some of our Tonawanda back pain
patients will love this!
