Turn Sadness Around With Chiropractic and Exercise

By Sandy Schroeder

We all encounter challenges in life that slow us down and sometimes make us sad. For some, that can mean a slide further into sadness or even depression. If you can relate, chiropractic support and exercise may help you turn things around now.

If the situation persists, you may want to consider seeing your doctor and a therapist to work through everything.

Seeing Your Chiropractor

The Joint Chiropractic clinic near you is staffed with doctors of chiropractic who help people find new health, wellness, and pain solutions every day.

When you come in, your chiropractor will explain how spinal health can play out in an improvement of total health. Bring your concerns about sadness, and any other issues, and get to know your chiropractor. A gentle targeted spinal adjustment may ease any aches and pains that you have and open the door to better sleep, more energy, and clearer thinking. Individuals often say that chiropractic treatment is like turning the page. Everything eases up and looks better. Now you may feel more like moving ahead and moving away from sadness.

As you evaluate your benefits, you may find weekly 15-minute spinal adjustments keep you at your peak and provide a platform for daily exercise that also delivers relief.

Using Exercise to Fight Back

Breaking out of the sadness/depressed mode can be tricky. With the chiropractic backup you may now be able to find the motivation to move forward with a daily exercise plan. Many doctors say moving a little bit every day helps. Try a five-minute walk and keep right on going with 10- or 15-minute walks. You should notice a difference within a few weeks. If you have picked an exercise or activity that you like, you may be able to sustain it over time to keep rolling back those sad moments.
