Add Chiropractic Care to your Toolbox in Conquering your Anxiety!

I have composed a series of articles discussing how chiropractic care can be incorporated in the treatment plan for a variety of different conditions.  Chiropractic adjustments, in addition to making you feel good due to freeing up irritation to the nervous system, can be an effective tool to assist in the management many different conditions.  Since your nervous system is involved in nearly every function in your body, having a healthy nervous system is essential to maintaining good health! I hope you enjoy this series! Please let me know if you would like to see other conditions discussed in the future!

Anxiety is a very common disorder that affects the lives of millions of Americans each day.  This condition can manifest in a number of different ways.  Some individuals experience panic attacks when exposed to stressful situations.  Panic attacks are characterized by a feeling of shortness of breath, increased heart rate, and sometimes also feelings of chest tightness or chest pain.  It can be mistaken for a heart attack.  Occasionally, the disorder can be accompanied by other disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder.  In very severe cases, the illness may be treated using anti-anxiety prescription medications.  Here we are going to discuss how you can try manage your disorder without prescriptions.  However, if you feel that you are suffering from anxiety disorder, please visit your physician to discuss your treatment options before trying any of these recommendations.
Learning to manage how you react to stressful situations can make a huge difference in the number of anxiety attacks you experience.  Please visit the links at the bottom of the page for information on stress management and meditation, a proven management option for mild forms of anxiety disorders.  The key to getting the best results, as with many other conditions, is early detection. If you feel you may have symptoms of anxiety, it is imperative to seek out help early in order to manage the condition before it becomes more severe.  Doing so may allow you to manage the condition more conservatively.  Therapy, hypnosis, and counseling are other treatment options that are available that can also have very favorable results.  Call your doctor today to find out if you may have anxiety disorder.  
Chiropractic care can help relax the nervous system and may also be a tool you may want to consider using in your battle against anxiety.  Feel free to contact our office for your free consultation to see if chiropractic care may be a good option for you.
