Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Since we are part of the chiropractic profession, Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre adds “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we see in our Toronto back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body cannot help but hurt, too. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre creates individualized Toronto 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 these spine care practices is often helpful and encouraged.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain wears on a person. Pain frequently keeps a sufferer from accomplishing what he or she wants/needs to do and from experiencing a joyful life. When working with your Toronto chiropractor at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre on the physical pain relief, a back pain patient 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 good effect on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Additionally, researchers found that even in countries with well-developed and accessible mental health services, those services are not well-utilized. It’s 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 interesting note about those who do seek help stemmed 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, don’t avoid pursuing help with depression related to Toronto back pain. Today, there are many options to get support for pain-related depression. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre offers evidence-based treatment via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to cope with the physical part of spine pain and encourages our Toronto back pain sufferers to consider utilizing a mindfulness practice to deal with the mind’s mental aspect of spine pain.
