Mind-body-SPINE connection. The mind-body connection is in
the health news a lot. Since
we’re a member of the chiropractic profession,
Johnson Chiropractic adds “spine” to this connection, making
it much more specific to what we observe in our Richmond
back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body can’t
help but hurt, too. Johnson Chiropractic designs individualized Richmond
chiropractic treatment plans for spine pain, back pain, neck pain and related
arm and leg pain sufferers that incorporate chiropractic
treatment, home exercise, and nutrition. The
addition of mindfulness practices to such spine care
practices is often beneficial and supported.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain tires a
person. Pain frequently keeps a sufferer
from accomplishing what he or she wants/needs to do and from experiencing
a joyful life. When working with your Richmond
chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic on the physical pain relief, a back pain sufferer
can choose a mindful approach to coping with the mind’s
struggle with the pain and associated
depression and/or varying levels of sadness is found
to help. In a study of lumbar disc herniation patients
with back pain who utlilized a mindfulness-based therapy, researchers discovered
that mindfulness-based therapy had a positive effect
on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Additionally,
researchers uncovererd that even in countries with well-developed and accessible mental health services,
underutilization of those services is common. 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 could. One interesting
note about those who do seek help resulted from their knowing
someone with a mental health issue which supportively influenced
them to seek help for their own issue. (2) Whether you know someone who has a mental health issue or not, do not avoid pursuing assistance with depression related to
Richmond back pain. Today, there are many options to
get support for pain-related depression. Johnson Chiropractic offers
evidence-based treatment via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management to cope with the physical part of spine
pain and encourages our Richmond back pain sufferers to consider using
a mindfulness practice to deal with the mind’s mental aspect
of spine pain.
