Psychotherapy
Chronic pain affects your physical well-being, and it also impacts your emotional health. Living with chronic pain influences every area of your life, and it requires changes that have a psychological effect. At Medici Spine & Pain, we treat patients, and not just their conditions. Psychotherapy is one of the treatments we use to help patients with their pain management. We give them the tools to improve how they cope with chronic pain and the effects it has on their life.
Psychotherapy can help with managing chronic pain in several ways. Those who have chronic pain have often endured many upheavals in their lives caused by their illness. They may not be able to work or enjoy activities that once brought them happiness. Relationships can be affected. Many people with chronic pain may feel isolated, depressed or out of control. Psychotherapy can help those with chronic pain learn ways to cope with these changes and improve their quality of life.
Tools for Coping with Chronic Pain
Psychotherapy can help give those with chronic pain helpful tools for handling their emotions. It can also provide ways to reduce triggers that can cause more pain. Both physical and emotional stress can trigger chronic pain. Learning techniques to relax the mind and body can have a significant effect on controlling pain. Psychotherapy teaches patients with chronic pain methods of breathing, muscle relaxation and meditation that helps minimize physical and mental stress. These techniques can also be used to cope with pain and improve a patient’s outlook.
