Understanding Chronic Treatment-Resistant Pain - Psychosomatic Back Pain

Science has shown that there is a powerful connection between mind and body. In many cases, the underlying cause of neck pain, back pain and sciatica, also called the back pain complex may be psychological. Often when a person is in pain and said he may be psychological or psychosomatic, the patient immediately becomes defensive, often saying, "Not in my mind, the pain is real" The fact is, in fact, very real, regardless of whether the pain is labeled as psychosomatic or not. When it is resistant to treatment, chronic pain in the mind / body connection should be studied, so that you can pronounce. In this article, we will discuss psychological pain, psychosomatic pain, chronic pain and psychological back. As stated in a previous article, we will also address again, but briefly, the link between chronic back pain and depression. Chronic pain in any form, perhaps the most insidious, debilitating and disabling any medical complaint. To fully treat the condition, the underlying causality should be thoroughly investigated and diagnosed. It is true that most cases of neck pain, back pain and sciatica are or are based on a true disease or other physiological condition. However, psychological back pain is common and, in fact, is a major cause of chronic pain.

Unfortunately, when a psychosomatic illness is often labeled no immediate stigma or negative perception associated with it. Very often when a person suffering from neck pain, back pain and / or sciatica hear the term psychosomatic, they respond immediately on the defensive. When a condition is labeled as psychosomatic attached the connotation is that the condition is "all in the mind" or somehow "imaginary". There is even a mental illness, stigma with the patient who complains: "I am not crazy, this pain is real" Even those close, sometimes members of the own family person will say nasty things like " I knew he was pretending "or" I knew she was just trying to get attention, I felt sorry for her! "For these and other reasons, resistance to a psychosomatic diagnosis is considerable, often socially and culturally based.

As mentioned in a previous article, there is a strong link between stress and psychosomatic diseases, in this case, neck pain, back pain and / or sciatica; or refractory chronic back pain. The link between depression and psychosomatic illnesses, especially as we age, it is often quite powerful. People who suffer from psychosomatic illnesses may experience incredible pain or other physical symptoms or diagnosis without physical manifestations. Paradoxically, there are a number of physical conditions such as brain injury and vitamin deficiencies just to name two, which can have profound psychological symptoms. However, it is often the case that many people suffering from chronic pain with no underlying medical diagnosis, may have a psychological or psychosomatic condition.

Contrary to common belief, the pain is the result of a psychosomatic state of emotional and psychological process, it is actually quite real. Psychosomatic pain, treatment resistant cases of chronic back pain is not imaginary, it is not "head" is not the result of an illusion or a sick mind, and are not the result of mental illness . The fact is that anyone who suffers from tension headaches, ulcers, colitis, tension of back pain, and a myriad of other stress-related diseases have a psychosomatic condition. Obviously these people are not "crazy." I guess the best way for an individual to understand how true psychosomatic pain can be is to have to think about your last tension headache and ask a very simple question, "it was the real pain?"

Psychological back pain is simply another name for evil psychosomatic back and is known as back pain induced by stress sometimes. Again, the pain associated with this condition is very real effect. While the pain may eventually be linked to the relationship body / mind, the physical expression of pain, if the pain is neck pain, back pain or sciatica, can be debilitating and disabling. Therefore, it is chronic psychosomatic pain resistant to treatment is often difficult, if not impossible, without having to actually treat the underlying disease. As observed evolutionary scientist once remarked, psychosomatic pain can be considered an anomaly of evolution, but is fully human and normal. As our system, and that includes our mind is overloaded, it seeks to reduce or eliminate the problem as quickly and efficiently as possible. Unfortunately for the patient, it does not focus away from the real issue, the real danger, expressed in an intense frequency awkwardly ,; and, in this case by the chronic back pain resistant to treatment.

Psychosomatic pain is the least understood of acute and chronic back pain and the most frequently diagnosed form. Significantly, the majority of chronic patients resistant to treatment of back pain, people with unresolved back pain, which means there is no clear diagnosis, by definition, have an illness in -jacente and misdiagnosed or psychological. While medical schools are beginning to address these very important medical problems, psychosomatic illness has long been relegated to the background of medical education. Therefore, physicians are simply not prepared or able to understand, much less treat this condition. As a result, many people are misdiagnosed with this "sacrificial goat condition", leaving individuals with very real physiological, structural and undiagnosed medical conditions.

Unfortunately, while the solutions are available, they are still relatively unknown. As the medical community begins to form so they can be better prepared to deal with this condition, we begin to see the first steps towards a comprehensive approach to this problem. Psychosomatic medicine has been spoken for centuries, even Sigmund Freud was fascinated by it at the time, however, it is only in recent years, we see a real movement to fight against the current epidemic. Resistance treatment of chronic pain, especially those with a long history of pain in abeyance and undiagnosed, are more likely to have lots of medical complaints to treat ulcers, colitis, and depression, to name only some. The combination of unresolved neck pain, back pain and / or sciatica and depression leads to profound consequences for the individual, family, community, and even the state. The impact of this misunderstood and often misdiagnosed condition or set of wave conditions throughout the system, with consequences far beyond those of a medical nature.

In the end, even when the underlying condition has been diagnosed, treated and eliminated, the symptoms must be recognized and relieved. For this reason, it is advisable for the individual to begin a large-scale program, individualized and medicine to yet treat both symptoms expressed and causality supervision determined. Exercise in itself, will have a significant and immediate impact on most individuals. Not only exercise program, well managed and supervised, do wonders to relieve stress, but also serve to strengthen the self-esteem and self-confidence. With exercise, especially for the muscles to adapt and adjust to the new routine, they will have to take other measures. The additional treatment strategies that have been launched, in collaboration with the exercise program should include a stretching program, 2-3 times per day (see: "Simple and easy exercise program for sciatica relief ... Part I and Part I AM "). Self-education, both individually and in groups, it will also improve understanding, self-knowledge and self-esteem. More importantly, if an individual or group therapy should be initiated with a view to overcome the underlying problems contributing to the psychosomatic condition of pain and / or misdiagnosed pending. The concert brings back bad strategies will do wonders to relieve symptoms, ultimately leading to a resolution when used alongside a therapy program sound to understand the underlying stress factors that led to complex backache neck pain, pain and sciatica.
