Chiropractic care is as relevant to your mental health as it is to your physical health. Why do you think that is? When we talk about “toxins” that leave your body, those toxins can affect your mental health as much as your physical health. When you do not feel well, it affects your mood. It may seem like common sense, but we naturally do not want to believe that. When your spine is realigned, endorphins are released into your body. Endorphins are hormones that are associated with feelings of happiness and relaxation. This can also help improve your mood and reduce the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. This is similar to the way a dirty car will make you feel out of sorts, until you give it a good wash and wax. After it’s clean, you feel better and the car runs more smoothly. It’s the same with our bodies; when our physical health is in balance, it can have a positive effect on our mental health.
