Manahawkin Chiropractic Center Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. The mind-body connection is in the health news a lot. Being part of the chiropractic profession, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center adds “spine” to this connection, making it much more specific to what we observe in our Manahawkin back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body cannot help but hurt, too. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center creates individualized Manahawkin chiropractic treatment plans for spine pain, back pain, neck pain and related arm and leg pain sufferers that include chiropractic treatment, home exercise, and nutrition. The addition of mindfulness practices to such spine care practices is many times beneficial and encouraged.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain tires a person. Pain often keeps a sufferer from accomplishing what he or she wants/needs to do and from experiencing a joyful life. When working with your Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center on the physical pain relief, a back pain sufferer can take a mindful approach to coping with the mind and its struggle with the pain and related depression and/or varying levels of sadness is found to be helpful. In a study of mindfulness-based therapy specifically for sufferers with lumbar disc herniation related back pain, researchers discovered that mindfulness-based treatment had a good effect on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Further, researchers found that even in countries with accessible, well-developed mental health services, those services are not well-utilized. It is better than it used to be with all the attention mental health has seen lately. Many do not seek it out as they may. One interesting note about those who do seek help stemmed 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 suffers with a mental health issue or not, do not avoid reaching out for assistance with depression related to Manahawkin back pain. Today, there are many options to get support for pain-related depression. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center offers evidence-based treatment via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to cope with the physical side of spine pain and encourages our Manahawkin back pain sufferers to consider using a mindfulness practice to deal with the mind’s mental part of spine pain.
