Eugene Fear of Back Pain Relieved with Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic

Fear of the “damaged spine.” It is a most common feeling to have about a lot of things in life. Fear avoidance. It is common in Eugene back pain sufferers. When back pain enters the scene, fear avoidant behavior also creeps in with it. Back pain specialists like your Eugene chiropractic physician recognize the influences of fear and fear avoidance on Eugene back pain and neck pain patients. Fear keeps Eugene back pain sufferers from doing the simplest things out of concern that they may hurt. The spine is pretty resilient, but when it is damaged its resiliency disappears in the mind of its owner. Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic helps Eugene back pain sufferers cope with the fear of back pain via information, care, and movement.

The Sense of Fear

Fear itself makes sense. If you experience pain with something, you strive to avoid that something like shuffling paper in a way that you get a paper cut or bending a certain way that aggravates leg pain. If you have back pain when you move, you try not to move like that to avoid back pain. Avoiding back pain-provoking activity for a Eugene back pain sufferer wanting to protect his or her damaged back makes good sense. Researchers explain though that if a back pain sufferer has pain in the early days of back pain and does not make a big deal out of it, he or she does not get trapped in trying to avoid movement, in the fear avoidance cycle.
