People with back pain were “more than twice as likely to experience one of five mental health conditions” including anxiety, depression, psychosis, stress, and sleep deprivation.
An earlier study “found that chronic back or neck pain was associated with increased risk for mood disorders, alcohol abuse, and anxiety disorders.”
Of course none of this will come as a surprise to people with back pain.
As someone who has suffered with a great deal of neck pain, I’ve lost sleep, endured headaches, been irritable, and experienced stress. Then after being adjusted by a chiropractor, I've been told what a pleasant person I've become.
A few helpful ways to manage back pain can include
- Heat and ice therapy
- Massage therapy
- Chiropractic care
- Weight loss
- Pain management classes
- Acupuncture
Each person is unique and may respond differently to treatments. So it’s important to find out what works for you.
