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 body’s support system. When it hurts, the body
knows it. Moses Chiropractic knows it, also. West Palm Beach back pain
and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. Our chiropractic treatment plan for
spine-related pain effectively eases
both body and mind pain to allow our patients to find
a satisfying quality of life. Back pain’s
depression often is eased with our Cox®
Technic System of decompression.
MIND AND BODY: DEPRESSION IN BACK PAIN PATIENTS
Leading causes of disability globally incorporate musculoskeletal diseases and mental
disorders like anxiety and depression. An analysis of patients with lumbar
spondylolisthesis showed how anxiety and
depression influence a person’s
well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients experience
negatively impacts their overall well-being. (1) A new
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 multiple osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 old with
musculoskeletal diseases mentally wrestle with the impact these issues
have on their lifestyle. (2) That’s where chiropractic care comes
into play. Moses Chiropractic offers evidence-based chiropractic care in
the form of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to ease
pain and place
control of its effect on our back pain patients’ lives back into their hands. There is hope. There is life during and after
treatment. Moses Chiropractic is ready for our
West Palm Beach 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 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 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. Logically,
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 thoughts of the illness, and
depression. These findings support the need for more honest
advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Moses Chiropractic to be
honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: West Palm Beach CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic
treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is beneficial
for the body. That is an accepted fact. Is exercise
good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain –
West Palm Beach chiropractic patients and your West Palm Beach
chiropractor – the more specific curiosity is whether
exercise is beneficial for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A new
study reports 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 superior. Both indicated promise in reducing
depression. That’s good news.
Moses Chiropractic ensures that West Palm Beach chiropractic
patients know this and provides safe, gentle, effective,
pain-relieving treatment.
