Did you know spinal decompression therapy can help lift depression? Many people suffer from depression and there are a lot of different reasons which can contribute to it. One of the most common causes of depression comes from living with chronic pain. Many people who have chronic pain and see no hope in sight can easily fall into depression. The most common area of chronic pain on the planet is low back. Chronic neck pain is not far behind.
A recent study on spinal decompression therapy was very encouraging. It focused on patients who had chronic back pain as well as depression. What they found was decompression helped their back pain, and as the back pain lifted, so did mood for many of the patients. In other words, the depression was linked to their chronic pain.
We have treated many patients over the years with chronic pain who later came to depression. Instead of taking pills for pain and depression, address the root cause of the problem. Treat chronic neck or back problems with spinal decompression. Once the pain starts to improve, there is a good chance a positive side effect will be the patient’s mood lifting as well.
