Aurora Chiropractic Center 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, Aurora Chiropractic Center adds “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we see in our Juneau back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body cannot help but hurt, too. Aurora Chiropractic Center creates individualized Juneau 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. Adding mindfulness practices to such spine care practices is often beneficial and encouraged.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain wears on a person. Pain often holds a sufferer back from accomplishing what he or she wants/needs to do and from enjoying life. When working with your Juneau chiropractor at Aurora 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 associated depression and/or varying levels of sadness is found to help. In a study of mindfulness-based therapy specifically for back pain sufferers with a lumbar disc herniation, researchers found that mindfulness-based therapy had a positive 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. It’s better than it once was with all the attention mental health has seen lately. 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 influenced them to seek help for their own issue. (2) Whether you know someone who suffers with a mental health issue or not, don’t avoid reaching out for assistance with depression related to Juneau back pain. Today, there are many options to get help for pain-related depression. Aurora Chiropractic Center offers evidence-based treatment via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to deal with the physical aspect of spine pain and encourages our Juneau back pain sufferers to consider utilizing a mindfulness practice to cope with the mind’s mental side of spine pain.
