DON’T FEAR! BE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR SPINE.
Chiropractors witness it every day. La Grande back pain sufferers avoid lifting or worry about over-doing it with their spines for things like lifting out of fear of (re)injury and pain. Researchers state that chronic low back pain patients are inclined to protect their spines by lifting utilizing 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 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 a while! 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 La Grande chiropractic treatment, exercise, and nutrition. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC and you will get there together! Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC 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 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 normal motions of daily life and her job, including bending, lifting and twisting.
La Grande 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 describes improvement in cognitive impairment and lessening of chronic pain due to compressed sciatic nerves in rats. Curcumin is reported to ease chronic constriction injury related behaviors and memory deficits by lowering inflammatory cytokines. (2) The sciatic nerve is irritated in sciatica 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 La Grande sciatic leg pain. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC does!
