This week’s minute looks at three benefits of chiropractic care for relieving symptoms of anxiety and depression………………………
If you live with depression and/or anxiety, you are not alone. Depression is a common mental health disorder impacting more than 300 million people globally.
Thankfully, new studies now support the effectiveness of chiropractic care for addressing and reducing certain physical symptoms that are commonly linked to depression and/or anxiety.
Some of the physical symptoms associated with anxiety and depression include headaches or migraines, fatigue, insomnia, muscle tension and stiffness.
Luckily, chiropractic care takes a holistic approach to helping patients by creating the right mind-body balance.
Here are a 3 ways chiropractic care helps patients with physical symptoms connected with depression and/or anxiety.
1. Chiropractic adjustments trigger positive hormones. Since spinal health influences almost every region of your body, studies show that after getting a chiropractic adjustment, your body triggers an increase in hormones involved in positive nervous system functioning.
2. Chiropractic care helps you get to sleep. Insomnia is often a symptom of anxiety and/or depression. Studies report that some chiropractic manipulation improves patient sleep patterns.
3. Chiropractic care relieves tension, stiffness and headaches. Patients who suffer with anxiety and/or depression also experience muscular tension. Chiropractic care can aid in reducing tension and stiffness, as well as help relieve tension headaches or migraines.
If you or a loved one is looking for relief from mental health symptoms, chiropractic care is a proven method that will improve your quality of life.
Make chiropractic a regular health habit for the whole family to ensure your spines and nervous systems are working the best they can.
And that is this week’s Family Health Minute.
