September 05, 2017

Fear of the “damaged spine.” It’s a most common feeling to have about any number of things in life. Fear avoidance. It’s common for Toronto back pain sufferers. When back pain enters the scene, fear avoidant behavior also creeps in with it. Back pain specialists like your Toronto chiropractic physician recognize the influences of fear and fear avoidance on Toronto back pain and neck pain patients. Fear limits Toronto back pain sufferers from doing the simplest things because they worry that they may experience pain. The spine is rather resilient, but when it’s damaged its sturdiness fades in the mind of its owner. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre assists Toronto back pain sufferers manage the fear of back pain via information, care, and movement.

The Sense of Fear

Fear itself makes sense. If you have 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 produces leg pain. If you suffer with back pain when you move, you try not to move like that to avoid back pain. Avoiding back pain-producing activity for a Toronto 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 doesn’t make a huge deal out of it, he or she does not get trapped in trying to avoid movement, in the fear avoidance cycle.
