Chronic pain: How psyche and body work together

psychological stress and chronic pain: A look at the effects in Bad Wiessee

Bad Wiessee, September 12, 2024. Chronic pain, be it in the form of head, neck or back pain, are an overwhelming reality for many people that stresses not only the body but also the soul. Dr. Katharina Grobholz, an experienced specialist for psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy at the Jägerwinkel private clinic at Tegernsee, illuminates the complex relationships between mental factors and chronic pain and explains why this is important for the local community.

The invisible burden: psychological aspects of pain

Often only the physical cause is considered in pain. But like Dr. Grand wood emphasizes, the perception of pain does not only take place in the affected body area, but is strongly connected to the brain. The pain remains in chronic pain, although the original injury is already healed. This malfunction of the pain system can become severe stress that affects not only physical health, but also the psychological stability of those affected.

The role of the community

The effects of chronic pain go far beyond individual suffering. In Bad Wiessee, where the private clinic Jägerwinkel is based, a growing number of people suffer from these symptoms, often increased by stress and life crises. This means that the community as a whole is affected. A comprehensive awareness of psychosomatic relationships could help to reduce suffering through targeted prevention measures.

Multimodal therapies - a way to improve

In order to escape the cycle of pain, the clinic relies on a comprehensive therapy model. Dr. Grobwood recommends, among other things, mobilization and strengthening programs that are guided by experts. These training not only help to relieve pain, but also promote personal well -being. At the same time, relaxation techniques such as autogenic training or meditation can make it easier to use the pain, which is essential for the quality of life of those affected.

A call for early intervention

A central concern of Dr. Rough wood is to promote early recognition of psychosomatic symptoms. Many affected people have had a long way of misdiagnoses, which illustrates the urgency of an interdisciplinary approach. A timely visit to the doctor can help to avoid the chronification of pain and to reduce suffering. (chronification describes the process in which acute pain remains long -lasting and without a clear physical cause.)

The importance of specialist centers and networks

The private clinic Jägerwinkel, part of the Oberberg Group, is an example of the established cooperation of various disciplines that contribute to the healing and care of patients. The various forms of therapy and expert knowledge in one place enable comprehensive treatment that takes into account both body and mind. This ensures that the needs of the patients are the focus and that healing is sought in a holistic sense.

In view of the growing number of people who suffer from psychological and physical pain, it is essential that the community becomes aware of such topics. Only by sensitization to the often invisible challenges of those affected can help be offered in the long term and the suffering is reduced.
