Bad Wiessee - Dr.
Florian Heimlich from the Marianowicz Medical Private Clinic in Jägerwinkel in Bad Wiessee shows solutions for back pain.
Back pain is now a widespread disease.
Spine specialist Florian Heimlich, Head of Orthopedics at the Marianowicz Medical Private Clinic in Jägerwinkel in Bad Wiessee, provides information about back pain, why the psyche plays a central role and what each individual can do about it.
“Pain is a warning signal from the body,” explains the doctor.
“But it also has a very subjective and emotional side.” Everyone feels pain differently.
The state of mind, stress and emotional strain, but also individual experiences of illness and negative expectations can influence the perception of pain.
Pain memory as a clinical picture
"Pain is a complex process," explains Florian Heimlich.
"People with back pain must take their suffering seriously and identify the cause of the symptoms so that pain memory does not develop or, if this has already happened, effective strategies are used to counteract it."
Pain can literally burn itself into the brain and become chronic if it persists for a longer period of time.
Then the brain sends pain signals even though there is no longer any anatomical trigger.
"Strictly speaking, a pain memory is its own clinical picture," says the new chief physician.
“The more often the nerve cells in the brain are stimulated, the more they sound the alarm.
The result is perceived constant pain. "
Three strategies against pain
The multimodal approach that Marianowicz Medicine pursues in the private clinic at Jägerwinkel has proven itself in such cases: With a holistic and interdisciplinary treatment concept, a team of orthopedists, neurologists, physiotherapists and psychotherapists get to the bottom of the causes of complaints and help those suffering from pain to a new quality of life.
Those who suffer from pain continuously or intermittently for a long time can learn new patterns of thinking and behavior in order to overcome the pain that has settled in the brain.
The doctor names three strategies that can help to overwrite the pain memory step by step:
One should change one's attitude and perspective, no longer perceive the body as an enemy and fight against it.
This creates stress, which in turn can have an unfavorable effect on the pain perception.
Just knowing about the various influencing factors of the complaints often already has a healing effect, because one no longer feels powerless with new solutions.
It makes it easier to accept the pain and to find a new, more confident pain management system.
Distract yourself as the perceived pain is triggered by attention.
Those who only think about the back pain increase the pain.
It helps to shift the focus away from the pain burden on pain management.
Relaxation methods such as autogenic training, meditation or biofeedback offer good approaches here.
Get active again, as exercise is a miracle cure for new positive experiences on your back.
Instead of restricting yourself more and more, it is important to consciously leave the protective behavior and become active.
A targeted program, guided by an expert, to mobilize and strengthen, strengthen your back and increase the feeling of self-efficacy.
"By the way, scientists have found that you can walk away from the pain with intense walking," explains the doctor.
With their multimodal approach, the specialists in Bad Wiessee have already freed numerous people from pain biographies, some of which have lasted years.
