Managing your Anxiety
Anxiety or depression cannot be cured or treated with chiropractic care.
But many patients discover that their anxiety and depression improve and sometimes resolve
while receiving chiropractic adjustments.
How can chiropractic help you manage your anxiety?
The spinal column has over 100 joints, and when they are free to move, they function like a big windmill, producing energy to power the brain. Making sure those joints stay mobile and healthy stimulates the brain and promotes the release of endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin. These are the happy hormones that the brain needs and that are important for mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
By stopping the stress reaction, adjustments from a chiropractor have an immediate impact on the brain. The body’s production of the harmful stress hormones cortisol and adrenalin is stopped when the subluxation is corrected. The adjustment restores blood flow and resets the brain’s chemistry. Serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins can then all be released. Your mood, memory, learning, gastrointestinal system, and immune system all perform better as a result of the frontal cortex’s ability to function at its peak.
Every adjustment prompts the brain to re-calibrate and function as it should. This explains why those who receive frequent chiropractic care experience happier thoughts and feelings:
Efficient stress management
Increased ability to focus and learn
Positive mood changes
A chiropractic adjustment does a lot more than simply relieving pain. Better brain function, brighter mood, stronger immune system, and overall improved quality of life are the long-term significant advantages of regular chiropractic care.
