Tonawanda Depression due to Back Pain Helped with Cox® Technic
The mind-body connection. It is real. And in no other condition than one related to the spine is this more real. The spine is the support for the body. When it hurts, the body knows it. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows it, too. Tonawanda back pain and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. The chiropractic treatment plan at our office for spine-related pain effectively alleviates both body and mind pain to let our patients discover 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 include musculoskeletal diseases and mental disorders like anxiety and depression. A study of patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis demonstrated how anxiety and depression influence a person’s well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients feel negatively impacts their overall well-being. (1) A recent 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 multiple osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 old with musculoskeletal diseases mentally struggle with the impact these issues have on their lifestyle. (2) That is where chiropractic care helps. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation offers evidence-based chiropractic care in the form of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to alleviate pain and put control of its effect on our back pain patients’ lives back into their hands. There is hope. There is life during and after treatment. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is here for our Tonawanda back pain patients all along the way. Using 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 prolonged use. These drugs stop 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 of us contend with at some point in life. For chronic low back pain patients, depression and anxiety often go hand-in-hand with their pain experience. Logically, higher levels of depression often come from more pain and a lower sense of personal control of pain and overall health. More anxiety often extends from stronger beliefs about negative effects of illness, negative emotional thoughts of the illness, and depression. These findings support the need for more honest advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation to be honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is beneficial for the body. That is a known fact. Is exercise good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain – Tonawanda chiropractic patients and your Tonawanda chiropractor – the more exact wonder is whether exercise is beneficial for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A recent study states 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 ahead of the other. Both indicated promise in lessening depression. That’s good news. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation makes sure that Tonawanda chiropractic patients know this and provides safe, gentle, effective, pain-relieving treatment.
