Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center Encourages Adding Mindfulness to Chiropractic Back Pain Care

Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Since we’re part of the chiropractic profession, Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center adds “spine” to this connection, rendering it much more specific to what we observe in our Pensacola back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body can’t help but hurt, too. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center creates individualized Pensacola chiropractic treatment plans for spine pain, back pain, neck pain and related arm and leg pain sufferers that incorporate chiropractic treatment, home exercise, and nutrition. The addition of mindfulness practices to these spine care practices is many times helpful and encouraged.
