Old Mill Chiropractic Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Since we are a member of the chiropractic profession, Old Mill Chiropractic inserts “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we observe in our St Peters back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body cannot help but hurt, too. Old Mill Chiropractic designs individualized St Peters 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. Adding 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 often keeps a sufferer from doing what he or she wants/needs to do and from experiencing a joyful life. When working with your St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill 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 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 treatment had a good effect on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Further, researchers uncovererd that even in countries with well-developed and accessible mental health services, those services are not well-utilized. It’s better than it used to be with all the notice mental health has seen lately. Many don’t seek it out as they could. One interesting note about those who do seek help stemmed from their knowing someone with a mental health issue which supportively motivated 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 assistance with depression related to St Peters back pain. Today, there are many options to get support for pain-related depression. Old Mill 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 St Peters back pain sufferers to consider using a mindfulness practice to cope with the mind’s mental side of spine pain.
