Why it's good to encourage slow deep breathing in people. Deep breathing is a very good hack of the autonomic NS, possibly the easiest one people can learn to use to break into their own brain to quell anxiety etc. There is a breathing rhythm generator with links to locus ceruleus. Locus ceruleus (blue spot) is a tiny cluster of only 10,000 cells, which has been called "the sympathetic nervous system of the brain." It sends out long neurons which project all over the brain. It's a centre of arousal, squirts out noradrenalin in response to any hint of threat, alerts the rest of the brain, sends neurons down the spinal cord to quell nociceptive input (so you can run on your sprained ankle away from the bear). Shallow breathing activates LC, slow deep breathing deactivates it. Cool, right?
I spent years of my life walking miles in hospitals teaching surgical patients to do deep slow breathing. At the time, we were told to tell people it was to help their lungs, but really, all along it was to help them with their own brains apparently.
The yoga and meditation people were right.

In September 2017, a little more than a year removed from his fusion surgery, Nate stopped receiving direct physical therapist treatment. Not because he didn't want it. Not because it wasn't helping. Rather, because Medicare imposes an annual cap on rehabilitation services that exceed $1,980, and Nate has reached that threshold, which could impact his ability to receive additional care. http://bit.ly/2wphkTt #FAS2017 #StopTheCap ...

"Since we know chronic pain has little to do with actual tissue damage, assigning a structural label to the issue does not make sense (albeit necessary for most insurance companies). Applying such a label can be quite damning to the patient’s psyche. Cohen 2011 discusses the issue as a stigmatization of the patient which impedes our ability to be empathetic to the person."
