Stress and anxiety are all too common in today’s fast-paced world.

Whether you’re going through an emotionally difficult time or you simply have too much on your plate, there have been many studies that connect the nervous system and spine with mental health. In fact, new studies support the effectiveness of chiropractic care in relieving certain mental health symptoms.

How can Canning Healthcare help?

Our team at Canning Healthcare view your mind and body as being interconnected – so if your body isn't functioning at its optimum or you’re experiencing pain, your mind will inevitably be put under stress as well. If one is off balance it throws the other off. We are able to re-balance your body to lessen your physical stress, so that your emotional stress can ease off, too.

Physical symptoms can exacerbate mental conditions like anxiety, stress and depression. Our practitioners are able to offer a natural care option for symptoms including:

• Muscle tension and stiffness

• Headaches or migraines

• Aches and pains throughout the body

• Inability to relax

We can treat these with adjustments, massage and acupuncture therapies. Studies show that acupuncture decreases the stress response and improves symptoms in people with anxiety - even those who didn’t respond to other treatments like psychotherapy and medication. Our in-house Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture offers a safe, natural and holistic approach to treating her patients.

Our Chiropractors and massage therapists are able to target certain trigger points to increase “feel good” hormones such as oxytocin and endorphins, so treatment really can be a case of mind over matter!
