Connected Chiropractic Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Being part of the chiropractic profession, Connected Chiropractic adds “spine” to this connection, making it much more specific to what we observe in our Elgin back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body cannot help but hurt, too. Connected Chiropractic creates individualized Elgin 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 such spine care practices is often 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 Elgin chiropractor at Connected Chiropractic on the physical pain relief, a back pain patient can choose a mindful approach to dealing with the mind’s struggle with the pain and associated depression and/or fluctuating levels of sadness is reported to help. In a study of lumbar disc herniation patients with back pain who used a mindfulness-based therapy, researchers discovered that mindfulness-based therapy had a good effect on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Additionally, researchers found that even in countries with accessible, well-developed mental health services, those services are not well-utilized. Use is better than it used to be with all the attention mental health has seen of late. 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 has a mental health issue or not, don’t avoid pursuing help with depression related to Elgin back pain. Today, there are numerous options to get support for pain-related depression. Connected Chiropractic offers evidence-based treatment via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to cope with the physical aspect of spine pain and encourages our Elgin back pain sufferers to consider utilizing a mindfulness practice to cope with the mind’s mental side of spine pain.
