New York City Depression due to Back Pain Helped with Cox® Technic
The mind-body connection. It’s real. And in no other condition than one related to the spine is this more real. The spine is the body’s support system. When it hurts, the body knows it. Rosenberg Wellness Center knows it, also. New York City 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 relieves both body and mind pain to allow our patients to find 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 globally include musculoskeletal diseases and mental disorders like anxiety and depression. An analysis of a specific set of patients, those with lumbar spondylolisthesis, showed how anxiety and depression influence 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 connects 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 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. Rosenberg Wellness Center offers evidence-based chiropractic care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to alleviate 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. Rosenberg Wellness Center is ready for our New York City 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 prolonged 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 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. Understandably, 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 deeper beliefs about negative results of illness, negative emotional thoughts of the illness, and depression. These conclusions support the need for more honest advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Rosenberg Wellness Center to be honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: New York City CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is beneficial for the body. That’s an accepted fact. Is exercise good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain – New York City chiropractic patients and your New York City chiropractor – the more exact curiosity is whether exercise is good for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A recent 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 superior. Both indicated promise in lessening depression. That’s good news. Rosenberg Wellness Center ensures that New York City chiropractic patients know this and provides safe, gentle, effective, pain-relieving treatment.
