Satterwhite Chiropractic Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care
Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Being a member of the chiropractic profession, Satterwhite Chiropractic adds “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we see in our Oxford back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body can’t help but hurt, too. Satterwhite Chiropractic creates individualized Oxford 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 these spine care practices is often beneficial and supported.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain wears on a person. Pain frequently keeps a sufferer from accomplishing what he or she wants/needs to do and from enjoying life. When working with your Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic on the physical pain relief, a back pain patient can take a mindful approach to dealing with the mind and its struggle with the pain and related depression and/or varying levels of sadness is found to be helpful. In a study of mindfulness-based therapy specifically for sufferers with lumbar disc herniation related back pain, researchers discovered that mindfulness-based therapy had a positive 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 once was with all the notice mental health has seen of late. Many do not seek it out as they may. One curious 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 seeking help with depression related to Oxford back pain.
