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 body’s support system. When it hurts, the body
knows it. Wilson Family Chiropractic knows it, also. Millville back pain
and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. Our chiropractic treatment plan for
spine-related pain effectively soothes
both body and mind pain to allow our patients to find
an agreeable 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 report of patients with lumbar
spondylolisthesis showed how anxiety and
depression have an effect on a person’s
well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients feel
negatively affects their overall well-being. (1) A recent
review of medical studies connects these two issues,
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 years of age with
musculoskeletal diseases mentally struggle with the impact these matters
have on their lifestyle. (2) That is where chiropractic care helps. Wilson Family Chiropractic offers evidence-based chiropractic care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce
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. Wilson Family Chiropractic is ready for our
Millville back pain patients all along the way. Taking
anti-depressants – anti-cholinergic drugs - may not be the answer for depressed
patients. They are shown to raise
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 of us
contend 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 comes
from deeper 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 Wilson Family Chiropractic to be
honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Millville CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic
treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is valuable
for the body. That is an accepted fact. Is exercise
good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain –
Millville chiropractic patients and your Millville
chiropractor – the more specific curiosity is whether
exercise is good for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A new
study states 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 showed promise in lessening
depression. That’s good news.
Wilson Family Chiropractic ensures that Millville chiropractic
patients get this and provides safe, gentle, effective,
pain-relieving treatment.
