Tonawanda Back Pain Relief Includes Self-Management

“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!
