The mind-body connection. It’s real. And in few
other conditions is it more real than in spine-related pain conditions. The spine
is the support for the body. When it hurts, the body
knows it. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc knows it, also. Fort Wayne 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 soothes
both body and mind pain to let our patients discover
a satisfying quality of life. Back pain’s
depression often is lessened with our Cox®
Technic System of decompression.
MIND AND BODY: DEPRESSION IN BACK PAIN PATIENTS
Top causes of disability around the
world include musculoskeletal diseases and mental
disorders like anxiety and depression. A study of patients with lumbar
spondylolisthesis demonstrated 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 links 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 decline
and increased osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 years of age with
musculoskeletal diseases mentally wrestle with the impact these issues
have on their lifestyle. (2) That’s where chiropractic care comes
into play. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc offers evidence-based chiropractic care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce
pain and put
control of its effect on our back pain patients’ lives back into their hands. There is hope. There is life during and after
treatment. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is prepared for our
Fort Wayne 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 frequently 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 extends
from deeper 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 Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc to be
honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic
treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is beneficial
for the body. That is a known fact. Is exercise
good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain –
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients and your Fort Wayne
chiropractor – the more exact wonder is whether
exercise is beneficial for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A new
study states 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 showed promise in reducing
depression. That’s good news.
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc makes sure that Fort Wayne chiropractic
patients get this and provides safe, gentle, effective,
pain-relieving treatment.
