Depression & Upper Cervical Chiropractic
Depression involves a combination of most of the following: inability to feel pleasure of any kind, loss of interest in most everything, self-hatred or guilt, inability to concentrate or do the simplest things, sleeping all the time or not being able to sleep at all, dramatic weight gain or loss, and suicidal thoughts or actions.
Depression is a thing unto itself, an undeniably physical and medical affliction.
Common Medical Treatments
Millions of Americans swallow pills daily hoping they will work some kind of magic and make their lives easier, less stressful. Maybe this pill, that white powder, or these capsules will make them feel better once they dissolve in their stomach, enter the blood stream, and travel to the brain.
They have put their faith in medication, hoping it will relieve their present state of disease.
Antidepressant pharmaceuticals are a multi-billion dollar industry.
Every media is bombarded by ads for these drugs. As you watch these commercials, note the careful language they use in suggesting that depression “may” be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. They go on to tell you how the medication “can correct” this biochemical imbalance.
What many Americans don’t know is that there has never been definitive research that proves depression is caused by a chemical imbalance.
Can An Upper Cervical Correction Help?
Upper cervical adjustments aim to correct misalignments gently and precisely, helping restore normal neurological function.
Patients who receive upper cervical care often report improvements in energy levels, sleep quality, and overall well-being. Holding the adjustment allows the body to heal naturally without repeated interventions. When the upper cervical spine remains in alignment, nerve communication is optimized, and the body’s ability to regulate energy and immune responses improves.
If you struggle with chronic fatigue, consulting an upper cervical specialist may help identify and address underlying spinal misalignments contributing to your symptoms.
Align Your Spine!
If the first two bones in your neck are misaligned, communication between the brain and body is interrupted and can cause numerous health problems.
Even a mild concussion to the head, neck or upper back can increase the risk of depression. Studies show that depression is a common diagnosis in patients with whiplash, an injury that can directly affect the upper neck and lower brainstem.
