How Your Chiropractor Helps Your Mental Health

Back pain, stiff ligaments, and dislocated joints—this is what we usually associate with chiropractic care. But at Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center located in Nitro, WV, Dr. Jay McClanahan believes in ensuring his patients’ overall wellness and that includes mental health. Here are four reasons why you should visit our office today for your mental health care.

A Mind-Body Connection

Chiropractors believe the entire body is connected and at Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center our beliefs are no different. Our multidisciplinary approach to wellness puts a strong emphasis on the mind-body connection. This means no stone is unturned and we look at diet, massage therapies, exercise, and adjustments to provide a holistic treatment plan.

Decrease Pain

Chronic pain has a tremendous effect on an individual’s mood and mental health. Your Nitro, WV chiropractor provides non-invasive procedures to relieve pain that clouds the mind and causes mental health illnesses like depression or anxiety.

Relaxation

Constant worry and a toll on mental health can wreak havoc on your body, not to mention your sleep and general ability to relax. From massage that invigorates soft tissues and reduces muscle tension to posture correction, we will drastically improve your sleep and promote relaxation for a better quality of life.

Fix Spinal Misalignment

Your spine is one of the most important parts of your body, connecting your neurological system so your brain and body can communicate. Stress and anxiety can be a result of a misaligned spine. After we adjust your spine, your body will trigger positive hormones such as cortisol and oxytocin, which lifts your mood, blocks pain, and gives you the “feel-good” hormone. 

Natural Treatments

While many traditional treatment plans for mental health disorders include therapy and medications, chiropractic care is a great alternative if you’re looking for an all-natural and no side effects approach for mental health. At Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we provide natural ways to treat common mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression.
