Carrolltown Depression due to Back Pain Helped with Cox® Technic
The mind-body connection. It is real. And in few other conditions is it more real than in spine-related pain conditions. The spine is the body’s support system. When it hurts, the body knows it. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows it, also. Carrolltown 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 reduces both body and mind pain to let our patients find an enjoyable quality of life. Back pain’s depression often is relieved with our Cox® Technic System of decompression.
MIND AND BODY: DEPRESSION IN BACK PAIN PATIENTS
Top causes of disability globally include musculoskeletal diseases and mental disorders like anxiety and depression. A report of a specific set of patients, those with lumbar spondylolisthesis, demonstrated how anxiety and depression affect a person’s well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients feel negatively affects their overall well-being. (1) A recent review of medical studies connects these two issues, 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 increased osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 years of age with musculoskeletal diseases mentally wrestle with the impact these matters have on their lifestyle. (2) That’s where chiropractic care helps. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation offers evidence-based chiropractic care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to alleviate pain and give control of it in the hands of our Carrolltown patients. There is hope. There is life during and after treatment. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is here for our Carrolltown back pain patients all along 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 long-term use. These drugs stop 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 everyone contends 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 stronger beliefs about negative results of illness, negative emotional thoughts of the illness, and depression. These conclusions support the need for more honest advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation to be honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Carrolltown 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 – Carrolltown chiropractic patients and your Carrolltown chiropractor – the more specific curiosity is whether exercise is beneficial for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A new study reports that symptoms of depression were reduced 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 indicated promise in lessening depression. That’s good news. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation makes sure that Carrolltown chiropractic patients get this and delivers safe, gentle, effective, pain-relieving treatment.
