Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Since we’re part of the chiropractic profession, Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries inserts “spine” to this connection, making it much more specific to what we see in our Manchester back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body can’t help but hurt, too. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries designs individualized Manchester chiropractic treatment plans for spine pain, back pain, neck pain and related arm and leg pain sufferers that include chiropractic treatment, nutrition, and home exercise. The addition of mindfulness practices to these spine care practices is often helpful and supported.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain tires a person. Pain frequently holds a sufferer back from doing what he or she wants/needs to do and from enjoying life. When working with your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries on the physical pain relief, a back pain patient can take a mindful approach to coping with the mind and its struggle with the pain and associated depression and/or varying levels of sadness is reported to help. In a study of mindfulness-based therapy specifically for back pain sufferers with a lumbar disc herniation, researchers found that mindfulness-based therapy had a good effect on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Additionally, researchers discovered that even in countries with accessible, well-developed mental health services, underutilization of those services is common. It’s better than it once was with all the attention mental health has seen lately. Many don’t seek it out as they may. One interesting note about those who do seek help resulted from their knowing someone with a mental health issue which supportively motivated them to seek help for their own issue. (2) Whether you know someone who suffers with a mental health issue or not, do not avoid pursuing assistance with depression related to Manchester back pain. Today, there are many options to get help for pain-related depression. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries offers evidence-based treatment via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to deal with the physical part of spine pain and encourages our Manchester back pain sufferers to consider using a mindfulness practice to cope with the mind’s mental aspect of spine pain.
