Psychosocial Factors in Back Pain

Posted: Feb 15, 2011 • By: Dr Lucas Kruse •

Many physical factors trigger or exacerbate back pain.  But did you know that psychological and social factors can also play a major role?

The chiropractic approach to wellness acknowledges the interconnection between the body, mind and spirit.  Dr. Kruse gives special attention to the spine, while caring for the wellness of the whole person.  Chiropractic is an approach that considers more than just the body; can explain how psychological health and social relationships interact with back pain; and helps describe therapies that improve back pain through the power of the mind. 

Aside from supporting recovery from back pain, the power of psychosocial therapies reduces the need for potentially addictive painkillers.
