Key concept:

·    The body has a powerful healing ability.

·    The body's structure,especially that of the spine and its function are closely related, affecting health.

·    Therapy aims to normalise the relationship between structure and function, assisting the body as it heals. 

As chiropractors believe that good health is dependent upon a well functioning nervous system, a strong emphasis is also placed upon nutritional and exercise programmes.

Chiropractic for the treatment of depression & anxiety

Anxiety & Depression frequently target the weak areas of the spine and can cause general muscular tension, headaches, migraines, neck and back pain.  This pain can in turn aggravate the already present anxiety and depression in some individuals. 

Chronic pain can cause sever anxiety and depressive symptoms over time.  Studies have shown that proper chiropractic treatment can greatly reduce both the physical ailments, and the mental anguish accompanying them.  (Nan Little)
