The mind-body connection. It’s real. And in few
other conditions is it more real than in spine-related pain conditions. The spine
is the support for the body. When it hurts, the body
knows it. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center knows it, also. Pensacola back pain
and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. Our chiropractic treatment plan for
spine-related pain effectively reduces
both body and mind pain to let our patients find
an enjoyable quality of life. Back pain’s
depression often is lessened with our Cox®
Technic System of decompression.
MIND AND BODY: DEPRESSION IN BACK PAIN PATIENTS
Top causes of disability around the
world incorporate musculoskeletal diseases and mental
disorders like anxiety and depression. A report of a
specific set of patients, those with lumbar spondylolisthesis, demonstrated how anxiety and
depression change a person’s
well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients feel
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 deterioration
and increased osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 old with
musculoskeletal diseases mentally wrestle with the impact these matters
have on their lifestyle. (2) That is where chiropractic care helps. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center offers evidence-based chiropractic care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce
pain and give control of it in the hands of our Pensacola patients. There is hope. There is life during and after
treatment. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is ready for our
Pensacola back pain patients every step of the way. Taking
anti-depressants - anti-cholinergic drugs - may not be the answer depressed back pain patients want. They are shown to increase
the risk of dementia with long-term 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 frequently go
together with their pain experience. Understandably,
higher levels of depression often result from more pain and a lower
sense of personal control of pain and overall health. More anxiety often extends
from deeper beliefs about negative effects
of illness, negative emotional thoughts of the illness, and
depression. These conclusions support the need for more honest
advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center to be
honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Pensacola CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic
treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is good
for the body. That is an accepted fact. Is exercise
good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain -
Pensacola chiropractic patients and your Pensacola
chiropractor - the more exact wonder is whether
exercise is good for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A recent
study reports that symptoms of depression were reduced
in such adults who did exercise (low dose) and manual therapy
and/or general strengthening and moderate exercise. (5) Neither came out ahead
of the other. Both indicated promise in lessening
depression. That’s good news.
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center makes sure that Pensacola chiropractic
patients get this and delivers safe, gentle, effective,
pain-relieving treatment.
