Toronto Depression due to Back Pain Helped with Cox® Technic
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. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre knows it, also. Toronto back pain and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. The chiropractic treatment plan at our office for spine-related pain efficiently alleviates both body and mind pain to let our patients discover an enjoyable 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 around the world incorporate musculoskeletal diseases and mental disorders like anxiety and depression. An analysis of patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis exemplified how anxiety and depression influence a person’s well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients feel negatively impacts their overall well-being. (1) A recent 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 deterioration and multiple osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 years of age with musculoskeletal diseases mentally wrestle with the impact these issues have on their lifestyle. (2) That’s where chiropractic care comes into play. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 Toronto patients. There is hope. There is life during and after treatment. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is here for our Toronto back pain patients every step of the way. Using anti-depressants – anti-cholinergic drugs - may not be the answer depressed back pain patients want. They are shown to raise the risk of dementia with prolonged 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 of us contend with at some point in life. For chronic low back pain patients, depression and anxiety often go hand-in-hand with their pain experience. Understandably, 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 thoughts of the illness, and depression. These findings support the need for more honest advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre to be honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Toronto CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is valuable for the body. That’s a known fact. Is exercise good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain – Toronto chiropractic patients and your Toronto chiropractor – the more exact wonder is whether exercise is good for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A recent study reports that symptoms of depression were reduced in such adults who used 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 lessening depression. That’s good news. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre makes sure that Toronto chiropractic patients know this and delivers safe, gentle, effective, pain-relieving treatment.
