Murfreesboro Depression due to Back Pain Helped with Cox® Technic

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. Most Chiropractic Clinic knows it, too. Murfreesboro back pain and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. The chiropractic treatment plan at our office for spine-related pain effectively alleviates both body and mind pain to let our patients discover 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

Leading causes of disability globally include musculoskeletal diseases and mental disorders like anxiety and depression. A study of a specific set of patients, those with lumbar spondylolisthesis, exemplified how anxiety and depression change 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 deterioration and multiple osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 years of age with musculoskeletal diseases mentally wrestle with the impact these matters have on their lifestyle. (2) That’s where chiropractic care helps. Most Chiropractic Clinic offers evidence-based chiropractic care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce pain and place control of its effect on our back pain patients’ lives back into their hands. There is hope. There is life during and after treatment. Most Chiropractic Clinic is prepared for our Murfreesboro back pain patients every step of the way. Using anti-depressants – anti-cholinergic drugs - may not be the answer for depressed patients. They are shown to increase the risk of dementia with long-term use. These drugs block 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 result 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 thoughts of the illness, and depression. These findings support the need for more honest advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Most Chiropractic Clinic to be honest!

HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Murfreesboro CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is good for the body. That is an accepted fact. Is exercise good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain – Murfreesboro chiropractic patients and your Murfreesboro chiropractor – the more specific wonder is whether exercise is good for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A recent study reports 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 indicated promise in reducing depression. That’s good news. Most Chiropractic Clinic makes sure that Murfreesboro chiropractic patients get this and delivers safe, gentle, effective, pain-relieving treatment.
