The mind-body connection. It is real. And in no
other condition than one related to the spine is this more real. The spine
is the body’s support system. When it hurts, the body
knows it. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows it, too. Groton back pain
and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. Our chiropractic treatment plan for
spine-related pain efficiently reduces
both body and mind pain to let our patients find
a satisfying 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
Top causes of disability globally incorporate musculoskeletal diseases and mental
disorders like anxiety and depression. An analysis of patients with lumbar
spondylolisthesis showed how anxiety and
depression have an effect on a person’s
well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients experience
negatively impacts their overall well-being. (1) A recent
review of medical studies connects 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 decline
and multiple osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 old with
musculoskeletal diseases mentally struggle with the impact these matters
have on their lifestyle. (2) That’s where chiropractic care comes
into play. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office offers evidence-based chiropractic care in
the form of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to alleviate
pain and give control of it in the hands of our Groton patients. There is hope. There is life during and after
treatment. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is here for our
Groton 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 increase
the risk of dementia with prolonged use. These drugs impede 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
together with their pain experience. Logically,
higher levels of depression often come 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 views of the illness, and
depression. These findings support the need for more honest
advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office to be
honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Groton CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic
treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is good
for the body. That is a known fact. Is exercise
good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain –
Groton chiropractic patients and your Groton
chiropractor – the more exact wonder is whether
exercise is good for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A new
study reports that symptoms of depression were decreased
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 indicated promise in lessening
depression. That’s good news.
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office makes sure that Groton chiropractic
patients know this and delivers safe, gentle, effective,
pain-relieving treatment.
