Layden Chiropractic 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, Layden Chiropractic inserts “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we see in our Plainville back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body can’t help but hurt, too. Layden Chiropractic designs individualized Plainville 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 such spine care practices is many times helpful and encouraged.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain wears on a person. Pain frequently keeps a sufferer from doing what he or she wants/needs to do and from experiencing a joyful life. When working with your Plainville chiropractor at Layden Chiropractic on the physical pain relief, a back pain patient can take a mindful approach to dealing with the mind and its struggle with the pain and related depression and/or fluctuating levels of sadness is found to be helpful. In a study of lumbar disc herniation patients with back pain who used a mindfulness-based therapy, researchers found that mindfulness-based therapy had a positive effect on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Further, researchers uncovererd that even in countries with accessible, well-developed mental health services, underutilization of those services is common. It is better than it used to be with all the attention mental health has received lately. Many don’t seek it out as they may. One curious note about those who do seek help resulted from their knowing someone with a mental health issue which positively 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 seeking help with depression related to Plainville back pain. Today, there are many options to get support for pain-related depression. Layden Chiropractic 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 Plainville back pain sufferers to consider utilizing a mindfulness practice to deal with the mind’s mental aspect of spine pain.
