Apple Country Chiropractic Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Since we are part of the chiropractic profession, Apple Country Chiropractic inserts “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we observe in our Williamson back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body can’t help but hurt, too. Apple Country Chiropractic creates individualized Williamson 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. Adding mindfulness practices to such spine care practices is many times beneficial and supported.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain wears on a person. Pain frequently holds a sufferer back from accomplishing what he or she wants/needs to do and from experiencing a joyful life. When working with your Williamson chiropractor at Apple Country Chiropractic on the physical pain relief, a back pain sufferer 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 utlilized a mindfulness-based therapy, researchers found that mindfulness-based treatment had a good effect on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Further, researchers found that even in countries with well-developed and accessible mental health services, those services are not well-utilized. It is better than it used to be with all the attention mental health has seen of late. Many do not 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 influenced them to seek help for their own issue. (2) Whether you know someone who suffers with a mental health issue or not, don’t avoid reaching out for help with depression related to Williamson back pain. Today, there are many options to get help for pain-related depression. Apple Country Chiropractic offers evidence-based treatment via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to deal with the physical side of spine pain and encourages our Williamson back pain sufferers to consider utilizing a mindfulness practice to cope with the mind’s mental part of spine pain.
