Toronto chiropractic care encourages back pain patients to not give into the urge to avoid normal spine motion once they are through their pain.

DON’T FEAR! BE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR SPINE.

Chiropractors see it every day. Toronto back pain patients stay away from lifting or worry about using 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 using a diminished lumbar spine range of motion. Doing this for a long period of time may end up hurting more than helping. The lumbar spine tissues may experience more loading due to altered spine motion. (1) Fear-avoidance is a pretty normal response in back pain patients. Do not feel weird if you do this for some time! 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 Toronto chiropractic treatment, exercise, and nutrition. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre and you will get there together! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 explains 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 the activities of daily life and her job, including bending, lifting and twisting.

Toronto chiropractic nutrition integration is important, particularly when curcumin is shown to be an anti-inflammatory benefit.

Toronto 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 describes improvement in cognitive impairment and reduction of chronic pain due to compressed sciatic nerves in rats. Curcumin is said to ease chronic constriction injury related behaviors and memory deficits by lowering inflammatory cytokines. (2) Sciatica is irritation of the sciatic nerve resulting in 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 Toronto sciatic leg pain. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre does!
