Minster Chiropractic Center Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. The mind-body connection is in the health news a lot. Since we’re a member of the chiropractic profession, Minster Chiropractic Center adds “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we observe in our Minster back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body cannot help but hurt, too. Minster Chiropractic Center designs individualized Minster chiropractic treatment plans for spine pain, back pain, neck pain and related arm and leg pain sufferers that include chiropractic treatment, home exercise, and nutrition. The addition of mindfulness practices to these spine care practices is many times beneficial and encouraged.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain wears on a person. Pain often keeps a sufferer from doing what he or she wants/needs to do and from experiencing a joyful life. When working with your Minster chiropractor at Minster Chiropractic Center on the physical pain relief, a back pain sufferer can take a mindful approach to dealing with the mind’s struggle with the pain and related depression and/or fluctuating levels of sadness is reported to be helpful. In a study of lumbar disc herniation patients with back pain who utlilized a mindfulness-based therapy, researchers found that mindfulness-based treatment had a positive effect on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Further, researchers found that even in countries with accessible, well-developed mental health services, underutilization of those services is common. It’s better than it used to be with all the attention mental health has seen lately. Many do not seek it out as they could. One curious note about those who do seek help stemmed from their knowing someone with a mental health issue which supportively influenced them to seek help for their own issue. (2) Whether you know someone who has a mental health issue or not, don’t avoid pursuing help with depression related to Minster back pain. Today, there are many options to get help for pain-related depression. Minster Chiropractic Center offers evidence-based treatment via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to deal with the physical aspect of spine pain and encourages our Minster back pain sufferers to consider utilizing a mindfulness practice to cope with the mind’s mental side of spine pain.
