Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Being a member of the chiropractic profession,
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre adds “spine” to this connection, rendering
it much more specific to what we observe 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 designs individualized Toronto
chiropractic treatment plans for spine pain, back pain, neck pain and related
arm and leg pain sufferers that include chiropractic
treatment, nutrition, and home exercise. The
addition of mindfulness practices to such spine care
practices is many times helpful and encouraged.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain tires 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 Toronto
chiropractor at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre on the physical pain relief, a back pain sufferer
can take a mindful approach to coping with the mind’s
struggle with the pain and related
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 treatment 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,
underutilization of those services is common. Use is better than it used to be
with all the attention mental health has seen of
late. Many don’t 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 reaching out
for help with depression related to
Toronto back pain. Today, there are many options to
get help 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 aspect of spine
pain and encourages our Toronto back pain sufferers to consider using
a mindfulness practice to cope with the mind’s mental side
of spine pain.
