DON’T FEAR! BE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR SPINE.
Chiropractors witness fear
avoidance every day. La Grande back pain sufferers avoid
lifting or worry about over-doing it with their spines for things
like lifting due to fear of (re)injury and pain. Researchers state that chronic
low back pain patients tend 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 more
loading due to 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 guide 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. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC and you will get there
together! 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, like bending, lifting and
twisting.
La Grande CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: CURCUMIN FOR CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF AND
IMPROVED COGNITION
Cognitive impairment is observed
in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. A recent study on the
effects of curcumin reports improvement in cognitive impairment
and reduction of chronic pain due to compressed
sciatic nerves in rats. Curcumin is said to alleviate
chronic constriction injury related behaviors and memory deficits by reducing
inflammatory cytokines. (2) The sciatic nerve is irritated in sciatica causing leg pain. If
you have sciatica, do you note issues with cognition? Curcumin’s
anti-inflammatory properties are something to be thought about
in the nutritional approach to chronic pain and La Grande sciatic leg
pain. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC does!
