How do cultural influences affect chronic neck and back pain?

Whether it's about your health, political views, or religion, cultural influences have played a vital role in everything you have learned. And, although the transition from acute to chronic pain is highly dependent upon psychological factors, those very factors are highly dependent upon cultural influences. The beginning of the transition has more to do with cultural flaws than it does with a person's maladaptive psychological perspective.

If a culture teaches and reinforces maladaptive behavior, then it is not psychologically inappropriate to exhibit that behavior. Displaying the very behavior that has constantly surrounded you, even in the face of poor results, makes you an innocent casualty of society's misperceptions, not simply a person with poor coping skills. How can you be expected to know the appropriate coping skill for your condition when you have never been taught or shown those skills?

If we could go back in time and wipe clean the slate of today's cultural perspectives on neck and back pain, then rewrite the script, you'd see a totally different picture. If you need evidence to illustrate the cultural impact on neck and back pain, look at the various subgroups of patients who have the same spines and the same problems but entirely different outcomes. People can be divided by how they think, into psychosocial groups, or by how much money they make, into socioeconomic groups.

Merely documenting that being a woman, having less of an education, or making less money all represent increased risk factors for developing chronic pain doesn't explain the pain away; it simply emphasizes the importance of a cultural connection to these problems.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
