Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. The mind-body connection is in the health news a lot. Since we’re part of the chiropractic profession, Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office inserts “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we observe in our Groton back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body cannot help but hurt, too. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office creates individualized Groton chiropractic treatment plans for spine pain, back pain, neck pain and related arm and leg pain sufferers that include chiropractic treatment, home exercise, and nutrition. Adding 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 frequently holds a sufferer back from accomplishing what he or she wants/needs to do and from enjoying life. When working with your Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office on the physical pain relief, a back pain patient can choose a mindful approach to dealing with the mind’s struggle with the pain and associated depression and/or fluctuating levels of sadness is reported to be helpful. In a study of mindfulness-based therapy specifically for sufferers with lumbar disc herniation related back pain, researchers found that mindfulness-based therapy had a good effect on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Further, researchers uncovererd that even in countries with well-developed and accessible mental health services, underutilization of those services is common. It’s better than it used to be with all the attention mental health has received lately. Many don’t seek it out as they may. One interesting note about those who do seek help stemmed from their knowing someone with a mental health issue which supportively 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 Groton back pain. Today, there are many options to get help for pain-related depression. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office 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 Groton back pain sufferers to consider using a mindfulness practice to cope with the mind’s mental aspect of spine pain.
