La Grande Chiropractic Care Relief for Back Pain and Fear of Back Pain
Have you found yourself flinching when someone approaches a balloon with a pin? You know there’s a noise coming. It is similar with La Grande back pain. If you expect your back to be painful, it often is. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC cares for back pain patients daily with that balloon-pop instinct for back pain’s intensity. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC strives to help our La Grande back pain patients experience back pain relief and find a way to not expect their backs to hurt.
La Grande BACK PAIN PERCEPTION
Researchers write that perception of pain is influenced by both the expectation of pain (or no pain) and the real sensation of pain. However, the greater the difference between the expectation and the pain, the less the expectation of pain or no pain affects the actual experience of pain. (1) It's not surprising, then, that back pain patients - those with spondylosis, intervertebral disc disorders among others – have issues with depression. (2) They expect a life without back pain, yet they suffer with back pain. There is a disconnect between perception and reality. Caring for La Grande back pain patients involves not just treating the basis of back pain but its effects on the whole person, mind and body.
La Grande BACK PAIN FEAR
Patients fear La Grande back pain. Patients desire a diagnosis, pain control and imaging (often despite what the medical guidelines dictate). These perceived patient needs affect patient outcomes. (3) Back pain specialists who understand these perceived needs can address these needs, can talk about these needs and can explain how these needs are being met with the La Grande chiropractic treatment plan. Your chiropractor wants what is best for you and your sought after and deserved pain relief.
La Grande BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Luckily, spinal manipulation shows itself worthy of use by La Grande back pain patients as research reports that it may reduce the expectation of pain, the fear of movement and other related brain responses that chronic low back pain patients feel. (As a side note, how were these findings discovered? With amazing new MRI technology that studies brain function and blood oxygen level signaling! Amazing!). (4) Your La Grande chiropractor at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers the gentlest form of spinal manipulation, Cox Technic, that itself is amazing. Another research study reported that manipulation and mobilization likely decrease pain and improve function for chronic low back pain. Manipulation has a greater effect than mobilization. Both seemed to be safe interventions guiding the researchers to suggest that a multimodal treatment plan may be encouraging. (5) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC understands this to be true! Your treatment plan will consist of a mix of treatment tactics to help get you the relief you want.
