Self-Care & Seasonal Depression
October 11, 2024
Many people suffer from mental illness and struggle with its hardships. Anxiety is a complex emotion to handle, and it can be caused by a variety of causes that vary from person to person. For some, anxiety relief feels unattainable. Discover how pairing chiropractic and meditation may help you find relief when dealing with anxiety.
Many anxiety disorders, depression, and even illnesses often root from stress. Subluxations, for example, are abnormalities of the spine that can sometimes lead to kinks in the nerves, resulting in anxiety symptoms. Aside from that, stress and anxiety can lead to the body holding tension, provoking painful symptoms and mental issues. By manipulating and realigning the spine, chiropractors can help with subluxations. Chiropractors use adjustments to relieve pain, improve nerve function, and address the underlying cause of anxiety.
Creating a relaxing space without distractions like TVs, computers, phones, and other devices can help you cope with anxiety. Meditation for anxiety depends on your attention not being diverted by anything. Focusing on one thing at a time can help one relax during meditation. Getting in touch with your breathing or going to a “happy place” in your mind can provide peace. It is essential to relax your muscles and clear your mind while you meditate. By using meditation for anxiety, you can gain control over your mind and body. In addition, it has a variety of potential health benefits, such as affecting blood pressure, sleep disorders, and our pain reactions. Studies suggest that it can physically change our brains to promote healthy behavior.
