Vancouver Disc Centers Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Being part of the chiropractic profession, Vancouver Disc Centers inserts “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we see in our Vancouver back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body cannot help but hurt, too. Vancouver Disc Centers designs individualized Vancouver 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. Adding mindfulness practices to such spine care practices is often beneficial and supported.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain wears on a person. Pain frequently holds a sufferer back from accomplishing what he or she wants/needs to do and from experiencing a joyful life. When working with your Vancouver chiropractor at Vancouver Disc Centers on the physical pain relief, a back pain sufferer can choose a mindful approach to coping with the mind’s struggle with the pain and associated depression and/or fluctuating 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 found 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, underutilization of those services is common. Use is better than it once was with all the attention mental health has seen of late. Many do not seek it out as they could. One curious note about those who do seek help resulted from their knowing someone with a mental health issue which positively motivated them to seek help for their own issue. (2) Whether you know someone who has a mental health issue or not, do not avoid pursuing help with depression related to Vancouver back pain. Today, there are numerous options to get support for pain-related depression. Vancouver Disc Centers offers evidence-based treatment via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to deal with the physical side of spine pain and encourages our Vancouver back pain sufferers to consider utilizing a mindfulness practice to cope with the mind’s mental part of spine pain.
