Chiropractic Care for
Anxiety & Depression

The sympathetic nervous system oversees the body’s fight or flight response. Although this response is vital to human survival in threatening situations, it can get stuck on/in fight or flight mode. When fight or flight is in overdrive it can cause many problems including sleep issues, anxiety, depression, and many more. A misalignment in the spine can also put stress on the sympathetic nervous system. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help relieve that stress, reset your body, and help turn on the parasympathetic nervous system, also known as rest and digest mode, reducing associated depression and anxiety symptoms.

Massage Therapy for
Anxiety & Depression

Massage Therapy can be beneficial for treating anxiety and depression. When your body is tight or tense it can cause your mind to become stressed, which can express in the form of anxiety or depression. A therapeutic massage provides the mind and body a calm and quiet place to relax while releasing any muscle tension that is triggering, stressing, or putting pressure on your sympathetic nervous system. Regular massages can help the mind and body to release these disruptions that contribute to anxiety and depression.

Reiki for
Anxiety & Depression

Reiki is a great resource for relieving stress related to anxiety and depression. Emotional exhaustion, fatigue, feeling overwhelmed, and experiencing sleeping problems can all be the result of stress accumulated in the body. Accumulated stress blocks the body's energy flow which can have unpleasant consequences including depression and anxiety. During a Reiki session muscles are relaxed and blocked energy is released, helping to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression. The best part of Reiki is it has very few side effects, unlike many pharmaceutical solutions.
