Chiropractic Treatments that May Help Reduce Anxiety
Advertisement
Prescription drugs such as Paxil and Xanax, and natural therapies such as massage and yoga have long been the solution for people suffering from anxiety. However, there is another way to reduce the feelings of panic and nervous tension, and it doesn’t involve any drugs. Chiropractic therapy has proven to be an effective method for treating General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and chiropractic treatments may help many people lower stress and blood pressure, and enjoy a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
Chiropractic Treatments and Well-Being
Chiropractic care is designed to restore the body to its natural state of functioning, and ensure that there all the joints and muscle are working properly. Many people who have subluxations of the spine report a number of health problems and psychological problems including depression, migraines, anxiety and high blood pressure. These health problems are often the result of swelling or tenderness around specific joints, and the result of poor spinal health.
Chiropractors work by adjusting the spinal column first to ensure that all of the nerves are transmitting messages correctly to the joints and muscles. Once the nervous system is deemed to be functioning correctly, the chiropractor can then focus on specific areas that may be causing digestive problems, migraines, anxiety, and poor health overall.
In many cases, there are several non-musculoskeletal benefits of chiropractic care that can be enjoyed for days, weeks and months after the treatment. The chiropractor helps restore healthy nerve and joint functioning so that the body can heal itself naturally and protect itself from further injury.
Key benefits of chiropractic treatments and therapy include:
- Better sleep
- Improved posture
- Reduced risk of back or joint pain
- Speeds up the body’s natural healing process
- Increases energy
- Improves athletic performance
- Encourages the body to become more efficient
- Improves feelings of well-being
- Reduces the risk of spinal degeneration
- May be a healthy, non-surgical alternative to treating back pain or joint problems
- Restores mobility and increases range of motion
- Relieves stress and tension
- Can be undertaken as a form of preventative health care
Chiropractic Therapy for Anxiety
In the peer-reviewed “Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research” issued to Chiropractors in 2004, a study revealed the positive effects of chiropractic therapy for a 19-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder. The woman had been suffering from psychiatric and neurological problems for nearly two years, and she underwent a series of chiropractic treatments that effectively reduced her symptoms, and allowed her to get better without using drugs or other forms of therapy (Source: ChiropracticResearch.org).
People who are suffering from General Anxiety Disorder may have spinal subluxations that are causing the nerves to misfire and raising blood pressure and anxious feelings as a result. Chiropractors can correct the subluxations in the spine and ensure that the spine is in good health. They may perform a number of spinal alignment and adjustment techniques to reduce or eliminate energy blockages, and naturally reduce the risk of excessive tension buildup that is triggering the anxiety episode.
Contact a chiropractor in your area to find out if you can benefit from treatment that reduces anxiety and improves well-being. Chiropractors will conduct a spinal analysis to determine where your problem areas are, and will create a customized treatment plan to help you achieve a state of better health.
