St Peters Depression due to Back Pain Helped with Cox® Technic
The mind-body connection. It’s real. And in no other condition than one related to the spine is this more real. The spine is the body’s support system. When it hurts, the body knows it. Old Mill Chiropractic knows it, too. St Peters back pain and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. Our chiropractic treatment plan for spine-related pain efficiently eases both body and mind pain to allow our patients to discover an agreeable quality of life. Back pain’s depression often is eased with our Cox® Technic System of decompression.
MIND AND BODY: DEPRESSION IN BACK PAIN PATIENTS
Top causes of disability globally incorporate musculoskeletal diseases and mental disorders like anxiety and depression. An analysis of patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis exemplified how anxiety and depression have an effect on a person’s well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients experience negatively affects their overall well-being. (1) A new review of medical studies connects these two concerns, too. Anxiety and cervical/lumbar disc herniation, mood/anxiety and lower bone mineral density in men, chronic low back pain and depression, life satisfaction improvement and bone loss prevention in postmenopausal women, quality of life decline and increased osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 old with musculoskeletal diseases mentally struggle with the impact these issues have on their lifestyle. (2) That’s where chiropractic care helps. Old Mill Chiropractic offers evidence-based chiropractic care in the form of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce pain and give control of it in the hands of our St Peters patients. There is hope. There is life during and after treatment. Old Mill Chiropractic is prepared for our St Peters back pain patients every step of the way. Taking anti-depressants – anti-cholinergic drugs - may not be the answer for depressed patients. They are shown to increase the risk of dementia with prolonged use. These drugs impede the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous system. (3) We all need clear minds to deal with life with and without back pain.
THE DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY OF BACK PAIN
Depression and anxiety are states of mind most everyone contends with at some point in life. For chronic low back pain patients, depression and anxiety often go together with their pain experience. Understandably, higher levels of depression often come from more pain and a lower sense of personal control of pain and overall health. More anxiety often comes from stronger beliefs about negative results of illness, negative emotional views of the illness, and depression. These conclusions support the need for more honest advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Old Mill Chiropractic to be honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: St Peters CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is valuable for the body. That’s an accepted fact. Is exercise good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain – St Peters chiropractic patients and your St Peters chiropractor – the more specific wonder is whether exercise is good for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A new study reports that symptoms of depression were decreased in such adults who used exercise (low dose) and manual therapy and/or general strengthening and moderate exercise. (5) Neither came out superior. Both indicated promise in lessening depression. That’s good news. Old Mill Chiropractic ensures that St Peters chiropractic patients get this and delivers safe, gentle, effective, pain-relieving treatment.
