How it works
Mindfulness reduces attentional bias toward pain, decreases amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex activity, and promotes neuroplastic changes that reduce central sensitisation and pain catastrophising.
More effective for chronic (>3 months) than acute back pain. Requires consistent daily practice. Best combined with physical rehabilitation for optimal outcomes.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
