Fear of the “damaged spine.” It’s a most common
feeling to have about a lot of things in life. Fear avoidance.
It is common for Pensacola back pain sufferers. When
back pain enters the scene, fear avoidant behavior tends
to creep in with it. Back pain specialists like your
Pensacola chiropractic physician recognize the influences
of fear and fear avoidance on Pensacola back pain and neck pain
patients. Fear keeps Pensacola back pain
sufferers from doing the simplest things because they
worry that they may experience pain. The spine
is pretty sturdy, but when it’s damaged
its sturdiness fades in the mind of its
owner. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center assists Pensacola back pain
sufferers manage the fear of back pain through
information, care, and movement.
The Sense of Fear
Fear itself makes sense. If you experience
pain with something, you seek to avoid that something like
shuffling paper in a way that you get a paper cut or bending a certain way that
elicits leg pain. If you feel back pain when you move, you attempt not to move like
that to avoid back pain. Avoiding back pain-producing activity
for a Pensacola back pain sufferer wanting to protect his or her
damaged back makes good sense. Researchers point out though that
if a back pain sufferer has pain in the early days of
back pain and does not make a huge deal out of it, he
or she doesn’t get trapped in trying to avoid
movement, in the fear avoidance cycle. (1) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center empathizes
with the Pensacola back pain patient who does not desire
to move too much because of fear that his or her back will
hurt again or maybe even worse than before.
