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 support for the body. When it hurts, the body
knows it. Novelli Wellness Center knows it, too. Orchard Park, NY 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 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
Leading causes of disability around the
world incorporate musculoskeletal diseases and mental
disorders like anxiety and depression. A study of a
specific set of patients, those with lumbar spondylolisthesis, showed 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 new
review of medical studies links 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 increased osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 old with
musculoskeletal diseases mentally wrestle with the impact these matters
have on their lifestyle. (2) That’s where chiropractic care comes
into play. Novelli Wellness Center offers evidence-based chiropractic care in
the form of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce
pain and give control of it in the hands of our Orchard Park, NY patients. There is hope. There is life during and after
treatment. Novelli Wellness Center is prepared for our
Orchard Park, NY back pain patients every step of the way. Taking
anti-depressants – anti-cholinergic drugs - may not be the answer for depressed
patients. They are shown to raise
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
hand-in-hand 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 stronger beliefs about negative effects
of illness, negative emotional thoughts of the illness, and
depression. These findings support the need for more honest
advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Novelli Wellness Center to be
honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Orchard Park, NY CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic
treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is beneficial
for the body. That’s a known fact. Is exercise
good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain –
Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients and your Orchard Park, NY
chiropractor – the more exact wonder is whether
exercise is good for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A new
study states that symptoms of depression were reduced
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 showed promise in lessening
depression. That’s good news.
Novelli Wellness Center makes sure that Orchard Park, NY chiropractic
patients know this and delivers safe, gentle, effective,
pain-relieving treatment.
