The Mind-Body Connection in Chiropractic

by Oasis Wellness Partners on May 21, 2019      

The mind-body connection offers us an incredible theory of healing that relates to an abundance of conditions, including pain management. The definition of the mind-body connection is that our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes can positively or negatively affect our biological functioning. In other words, a person’s overall mind, body and emotional health can all have a huge impact on their experience of physical pain.

Chiropractic care is currently one of the most popular holistic healing methods that integrates the theory of mind-body connection in its process of helping patients heal. Since the mind-body connection refers to how your physical health impacts how you feel, think, and behave, and vice versa, excellent chiropractic care is going to take into account not only your physical state, but your mental state as well.

While physical injuries often have specific physical causes and treatments, many doctors now recognize that emotional and mental factors could also be affecting someone’s overall health. Lower back pain, for example, could be the result of sitting at a desk all day at work, but it might also be the result of mental or emotional stress. Treating just one part of the issue — only the physical side or only the psychological side — might not result in true healing.

How Does This Relate to Chiropractic Family Wellness Center?

By taking a more holistic approach to patients’ wellbeing, chiropractors represent the mind-body approach to managing pain. At our chiropractic center in Scarborough, Maine, we encourage patients to try a variety of services at our center to find what truly works for them. We help our patients understand the root cause of their pain and we discuss possible options for preventing or mitigating pain in the future.

Factors that can affect one’s health can include:

• Experiencing financial set-backs
• Losing a job or working at an unfulfilling job
• Suffering from ailments or illness
• Relationship difficulties
• Dealing with the loss of a loved one

If you’ve experiences any of these, it certainly wouldn’t be surprising if you also were experiencing headaches, higher blood pressure, or even back and neck pain. Many people find that seeking regular chiropractic adjustments mixed with other healing modalities are a great way to regulate and diminish pain, as well as experience real healing.
