OrthoIllinois Chiropractic Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Since we are part of the chiropractic profession, OrthoIllinois Chiropractic inserts “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we observe in our McHenry back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body cannot help but hurt, too. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic creates individualized McHenry chiropractic treatment plans for spine pain, back pain, neck pain and related arm and leg pain sufferers that incorporate chiropractic treatment, home exercise, and nutrition. The addition of mindfulness practices to such spine care practices is often beneficial and encouraged.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain tires a person. Pain frequently holds a sufferer back from accomplishing what he or she wants/needs to do and from enjoying life. When working with your McHenry chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic on the physical pain relief, a back pain sufferer can choose a mindful approach to coping with the mind and its struggle with the pain and related depression and/or varying levels of sadness is reported to be helpful. In a study of lumbar disc herniation patients with back pain who added a mindfulness-based therapy, researchers discovered that mindfulness-based therapy had a positive effect on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Further, researchers uncovererd that even in countries with accessible, well-developed mental health services, underutilization of those services is common. Use is better than it used to be with all the notice mental health has received of late. Many do not seek it out as they could. One interesting note about those who do seek help resulted from their knowing someone with a mental health issue which supportively motivated 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 pursuing assistance with depression related to McHenry back pain. Today, there are many options to get help for pain-related depression.
