Finding the right answers can start with a visit to your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic. Licensed chiropractors staff a wellness center that can help you balance physical and emotional pain without prescription drugs or surgery. 

Talk with your chiropractor about your emotional and physical pain as you discover how spinal health can impact overall health. 

Gentle targeted spinal adjustments can align the spine and the nervous system, erasing pain and sparking energy. You may sleep better, enjoy better metabolism, and feel more relaxed.  

As you evaluate your benefits, you may want to use a weekly 15-minute spinal adjustment to feel physically stronger and emotionally more settled. Your chiropractor can monitor the results and suggest more steps to ease anxiety. 

Meditate whenever tension builds - It's hard to focus on two things at once. When anxiety starts to build, step outside or close the door and do a simple meditation that lets your thoughts flow unchecked. Later your anxiety may seem less intense and you can think more clearly. 

Take a vacation from everything - When you feel completely overwhelmed, take a day off to rest and reboot your world. Treat yourself to your favorite foods and hit some of your favorite book or music stores. Or head to your favorite park or beach and find a quiet spot to read. When you return, everything may look better. 

Reach out to friends and family - When anxiety just keeps building, connect with the people who know you best and talk through the issues. Just having someone listen can make a difference. Later you can return the favor when they run into problems. 

Give your anxiety a name - When you feel those anxious symptoms sneaking up on you, name them. They could be called "worry warts, downers, or trouble-makers." Whatever you call them, give them the boot the minute they appear with some upbeat music or a quick run, and then move on to a new project. 

Whenever anxiety hovers, visit The Joint Chiropractic and realign your life with weekly visits. Walk-in visits are welcome.
