“Let there be light!”
Those are some recognizable words! They are as important
today as they were back when they were first uttered. Today light may be a key
to managing depression and growing positive outcomes of care for Auburn
back pain sufferers seeking help from back pain specialists like Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.’s.
A serious sign for effects of care – be that
medical care or chiropractic care or other type - for low back pain is depression. Depression is an extra layer to peel away when back pain
is involved. Chiropractors like your well-trained Auburn
chiropractor at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. are on the lookout for signs of depression in
their patients because it does play a role in how a patient responds to chiropractic
care. And your Auburn chiropractor knows well how depression can
raise its head: living with pain day in and day out hurts more than just the
physical body. The mind must contend with it, too. There is hope and a variety
of approaches to dealing with Auburn depression. Light therapy is
one that may be just up your alley.
First, how can a chiropractor like yours at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. check
if depression is an issue in your back pain recovery journey? Check a few
simple things like how intense your low back pain is and how much it limits
your daily activities. (1) Your Auburn chiropractic physician is
up to the task!
Now if depression is noted, how do back pain and depression
interact? Well, having back pain for an extended period of time is disruptive
to your lifestyle. It keeps you from doing and focusing wholeheartedly on what
you want and what you must do. Chronic pain is defined as having pain for over
3 months. When it goes on this long, pain is often in the forefront of the mind
and constantly seeks attention. With help nearby in Auburn, back
pain patients don’t need to suffer. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. offers help via procedures
to reduce the cause of back pain which in turn may well help reduce depression.
Plus Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. may share some cutting edge treatments like light therapy
that are newly research documented as being effective. It may be an additional modality that Auburn back pain sufferers may want to consider.
So how much does light therapy seem to help relieve or
alleviate the depression? A new study shows that pain intensity and depression
scores positively changed the most with light therapy (bright or low dose).
