Has chiropractic care helped with your anxiety issues?

Sorry, but repeated bone crunching cannot help with mental disorders. If anything, it will only raise your anxiety, and it should.

I wouldn’t recommend it for neck problems either.

Edit:
Smeg, even if pressure point therapy was traditional chiropractic, and even if your nonsensical explanation is true, clearly it’s only going to have a very temporary effect, right? It would be lucky to last 10 minutes after you leave the chiro.

Hi Laura,
Most people are unaware that Chiropractic is not a scientific/medical treatment, but an alternative/mystical one. Although it sounds like a proper medical treatment much like physiotherapy, the scientific and medical consensus is that ’straight’ chiropractic is generally unscientific and often dangerous. Even the American Medical Association has called chiropractic an "unscientific cult".

Chiropractic can be split into 2 different groups - Straight and Mixed.
Mixed chiropractors are more mainstream and offer treatments including exercise, x-ray and massage.
Straight chiropractors believe that subluxations are the leading cause of all disease in the body, and that these diseases won’t be a problem if you have the correct spinal manipulations. This is medically and scientifically incorrect.

If your chiropractor told you that he could cure your anxiety with spinal manipulation, he is probably a ’straight’ chiropractor, which is the less scientific kind.

Anxiety is generally from a chemical imbalance, or other psychological problem. It is not from your spine being unaligned.

If you’re experiencing relief, it could be the placebo effect. When a chiropractor tells you that he can relieve your anxiety, your mind can make it seem that way when nothing physical has actually happened.
It could also be that your anxiety is based on tension or worrying about your neck problems. A nice massage will always make you feel better, it’s the same kind of thing.

Please be aware that neck cracking is actually a pretty dangerous thing to do, most doctors would warn against doing it:
“Cervical manipulation is a preposterous thing to do, and it should be banned.”
"But despite patients’ enthusiasm for the neck adjustment [...] researchers have not produced definitive proof of its medical value"

"Chiropractic therapy for neck pain has a high rate of adverse reactions, according to the results of a randomized study published in the July 1 issue of Spine."

Anyway, good luck with your anxiety - if you’re having trouble with it just have a chat to your GP who can refer you to the right treatment. Your GP can also refer you to a physio or similar who will do a better job helping with your neck/back issues than a straight chiropractor ever will.

Smeg - Unproven, pseudoscientific nonsense. Instead of hurling insults at Gary, why don’t you provide some medical studies which back up your opinion?
