Chiropractic and Anxiety??

I absolutely love being a chiropractor because I see amazing things everyday, but this one took the cake! I have a college age patient who suffers from anxiety and panic attacks - never something that anyone wants to deal with but especially for someone that has to take midterms and finals! When she is on her medication - she gets extremely depressed, tired, anti-social, and still suffers from some anxiety!

I have been adjusting her for 7 weeks, which was during midterms, and she didn't think twice about it! She didn't have any panic attacks or anxiety! That is awesome! More than not, the symptoms are not chemical (which you should either change your diet or take prescriptions for) but are physical - and what causes a physical problem....? SUBLUXATIONS! Misalignments in the spine! She came in for migraines (which she doesn't have anymore either!) but we were able to help with her anxiety because the nervous system is functioning properly!

Pregnancy and Chiropractic

I have been treating my first pregnant patient here in the office and it is phenomenal!! We have been addressing some of the issues she's been having with some hip pain and varicose veins - all of which can be helped naturally. We've been adjusting her and started her on some Standard Process whole food vitamins (the only way to go, vitamin wise, is whole food!) and she is feeling great!

I wish more pregnant women would see pregnancy as an amazing and wonderful process that you and your baby experience rather than something you have to deal with. We have been going through her birth plan (which she wants to go all natural!) and I am very excited about some of the choices that she is making for her and her baby!
