Anxiety Sufferers Chiropractic Can Help | El Paso, TX.

Share

When you struggle with anxiety, it can make living your day-to-day life more difficult. Anxiety comes in a variety of forms and varies by individual. The treatments that are most effective for one person may not be as effective for another, but there is some general guideline for dealing with anxiety that most sufferers can benefit from. Regular chiropractic care, including a focus on improving overall health, can serve as a foundation for navigating the difficulties of anxiety.

 

Ways Chiropractic Helps

 

1. Keeps track of what triggers anxiety.

Chiropractors are big fans of keeping diaries surrounding any type of health issue you are dealing with—and anxiety is no exception. Just like keeping a food diary can help you identify a food allergy, keeping an anxiety diary can help you see what things in your life are triggering your anxiety. Triggers for anxiety can include a wide range of things, not all of them related to human interactions. Some of these triggers can include:

  • Allergies to certain foods
  • Consumption of alcohol
  • Consumption of caffeine
  • Vitamin deficiencies, particularly B vitamins, calcium, and magnesium
  • Consumption of sugar

Your chiropractor can tell you how to keep a diary that will help you see what you do in your day-to-day life, and how those actions relate to your anxiety.

2. Keeps your body healthy.

The relationship between the body and the mind is still far from being fully understood. However, there is no denying the significant connection between our physical health and our mental health. When your body is healthier, your mood is more level and positive.

Chiropractic care is focused on treatments that improve your health. These can include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, spinal decompression, ultrasound and more. Which treatments are right for you will depend on the results of your physical examination with the chiropractor. What you can be sure of is that your chiropractor will do everything possible to ensure your body is healthy and functioning at an optimal level.

 

 

3. Maintains spinal alignment.

There are many ways that the nervous system affects the body and the brain—and the full effects are not totally clear as of yet. What we do know is that many chiropractic patients report improvements in their health seemingly unrelated to the pain in their back or neck. A few adjustments into a treatment plan and patients discover that some other health issue gets resolved.

Adjustments are designed to put your vertebrae back into proper alignment. With proper alignment, your nervous system can function optimally. The results may or may not improve your anxiety directly, but they will make you feel better and keep your body running the way it was intended to.

4. Improves your diet.

What you eat plays a huge role in your overall health. Improving your diet could lead to an improvement in your anxiety symptoms, which is why your chiropractor will try to help you make healthy changes to what you eat. Chiropractors are trained in the latest research in nutrition and are well-versed in the benefits of various approaches to a healthy diet. You can work with your chiropractor to shift your diet from its current state to one that includes more healthy options.

Other Healthcare Providers

If you are seeing a mental healthcare professional for your anxiety, your chiropractor will strive to work with your provider to ensure the best possible outcomes. Sometimes the best way to improve your health is to take a multi-pronged approach—which your chiropractor can help you with!

Chronic pain & depression | El Paso, Texas

 

 

Chronic pain brought on by accidents and/or aggravated ailments can frequently be among the main causes of depression in patients. When debilitating symptoms induce patients to fight with their everyday physical tasks, their mental health can be tremendously affected. Chiropractic care uses spinal adjustments and manual manipulations that could help restore the initial integrity of the spine. Patients describe how chiropractic care has helped them recover their quality of life and they highly recommend Dr. Alex Jimenez, chiropractor, as the non-surgical selection for chronic pain and depression, one of a variety of other common health problems.


 

Weak Hip Abduction & Its Effects

Currently, more than 2 million Americans are dependent on opioids. For many, their addiction comes from seeking pain management for an injury or chronic condition. Opioids are a convenient and fast remedy, but only provide pain relief and not actual treatment of the cause. Therefore, opioids should be a last resort when experiencing pain and discomfort. Starting at the foundation (feet) of the body with orthotics can help the rest of the body stay aligned.

If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, you may feel hopeless and helpless. You may be less apt to seek or follow treatment, believing there is nothing you can do to make it better. When you have a chronic medical condition, it doesn’t just impact your health. Often you can’t work or miss time at work, you may have financial problems. Relationships frequently suffer when one partner is sick. While these can be true for all chronic conditions, when you add in depression or anxiety, coping is even more difficult.
