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. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows it, too. Fernandina Beach 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 let our patients 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 include musculoskeletal diseases and mental
disorders like anxiety and depression. A report of patients with lumbar
spondylolisthesis exemplified how anxiety and
depression change a person’s
well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients feel
negatively impacts their overall well-being. (1) A new
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 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’s where chiropractic care helps. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic offers evidence-based chiropractic care in
the form of 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. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is here for our
Fernandina Beach back pain patients all along the way. Using
anti-depressants – anti-cholinergic drugs - may not be the answer for depressed
patients. They are shown to increase
the risk of dementia with long-term use. These drugs block 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 everyone contends 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 comes
from deeper beliefs about negative effects
of illness, negative emotional views of the illness, and
depression. These findings support the need for more honest
advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Amelia Chiropractic Clinic to be
honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Fernandina Beach 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 –
Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients and your Fernandina Beach
chiropractor – the more exact wonder is whether
exercise is good for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A recent
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 superior. Both showed promise in reducing
depression. That’s good news.
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic makes sure that Fernandina Beach chiropractic
patients get this and delivers safe, gentle, effective,
pain-relieving treatment.
