The mind-body connection. It’s 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. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows it, too. Auburn back pain
and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. Our chiropractic treatment plan for
spine-related pain effectively reduces
both body and mind pain to let our patients find
an agreeable quality of life. Back pain’s
depression often is lessened with our Cox®
Technic System of decompression.
MIND AND BODY: DEPRESSION IN BACK PAIN PATIENTS
Top causes of disability globally incorporate musculoskeletal diseases and mental
disorders like anxiety and depression. A study of a
specific set of patients, those with lumbar spondylolisthesis, exemplified how anxiety and
depression have an effect on a person’s
well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients feel
negatively affects their overall well-being. (1) A new
review of medical studies links 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 multiple osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 years of age with
musculoskeletal diseases mentally struggle with the impact these issues
have on their lifestyle. (2) That’s where chiropractic care comes
into play. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. offers evidence-based chiropractic care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce
pain and give control of it in the hands of our Auburn patients. There is hope. There is life during and after
treatment. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is prepared for our
Auburn back pain patients every step of 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 prolonged 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 often 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 views of the illness, and
depression. These findings support the need for more honest
advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. to be
honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Auburn CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic
treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is good
for the body. That’s a known fact. Is exercise
good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain –
Auburn chiropractic patients and your Auburn
chiropractor – the more specific wonder is whether
exercise is beneficial for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A recent
study states that symptoms of depression were decreased
in such adults who did exercise (low dose) and manual therapy
and/or general strengthening and moderate exercise. (5) Neither came out ahead
of the other. Both showed promise in reducing
depression. That’s good news.
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. makes sure that Auburn chiropractic
patients get this and delivers safe, gentle, effective,
pain-relieving treatment.
