Overview
Chronic spine pain is not only physical — stress, anxiety, and depression can worsen pain perception. Psychological counselling (including cognitive-behavioral therapy, CBT) helps patients cope better, reduces fear of movement, and improves quality of life. Studies show CBT significantly reduces disability and improves long-term outcomes in chronic back pain.
