Chiropractic Care for Anxiety, Stress, and Depression
Whether it's school, work, or your personal life, you experience stressors every day. The occasional stressed out moment, for example, due to a big work presentation, is typical. However, ongoing stress is a problem.
Stress seriously harms mental and physical health. It also increases your risk of developing anxiety and depressive disorders due to the hormonal changes that occur when a person is stressed.
Chiropractic care can help.
The Dangers of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression
If you struggle with anxiety or depression, you aren’t alone.
Anxiety is the most common mental health issue in the United States, affecting 18.1% of the population – an estimated 40 million people. It often goes hand-in-hand with depression, which affects an estimated 17.3 million U.S. adults.
Untreated anxiety and depression can seriously hamper your everyday quality of life. Here are some common symptoms of anxiety:
- Muscle tension
- Memory troubles
- Sleep difficulties
- Feelings of panic or dread
Here are some common symptoms of depression:
- Lack of energy
- Changes in appetite
- Difficulty sleeping
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Suicidal thoughts
There’s no need to live with these symptoms. Mental health professionals can help.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Mental Health
Finding ways to manage everyday stress will minimize your risk of developing anxiety and depressive disorders in the big picture. A chiropractor can support your journey to better mental health through stress reduction treatments.
Chiropractic care can help in a few respects. If you’re stressed, you carry that stress in your body. You might ball up your fists or hunch your shoulders, for example. Chiropractic care relieves these physical symptoms of stress by alleviating tension in the musculoskeletal system.
Additionally, chiropractic care combats the high blood pressure that often comes with stress. Finally, research suggests that chiropractic care improves sleep and combats insomnia, a common side effect of anxiety and depression.
