Ashburn Depression due to Back Pain Helped with Cox® Technic

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. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows it, also. Ashburn back pain and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. Our chiropractic treatment plan for spine-related pain effectively soothes both body and mind pain to allow our patients to discover an enjoyable 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 incorporate musculoskeletal diseases and mental disorders like anxiety and depression. An analysis of patients 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 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 increased osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 old with musculoskeletal diseases mentally struggle with the impact these issues have on their lifestyle. (2) That’s where chiropractic care comes into play. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers evidence-based chiropractic care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce pain and give control of it in the hands of our Ashburn patients. There is hope. There is life during and after treatment. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is ready for our Ashburn back pain patients every step of the way. Taking anti-depressants – anti-cholinergic drugs - may not be the answer depressed back pain patients want. They are shown to raise the risk of dementia with prolonged 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. Understandably, 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 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 Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn to be honest!

HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Ashburn CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is good for the body. That is a known fact. Is exercise good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain – Ashburn chiropractic patients and your Ashburn chiropractor – the more specific 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 indicated promise in reducing depression. That’s good news. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn ensures that Ashburn chiropractic patients know this and provides safe, gentle, effective, pain-relieving treatment.
