Is chiropractics helpful for anxiety?

Has anyone tried using a chiropractor for anxiety? I read online that there is some research about chiropractics can be helpful for anxiety, but I'm nervous to try it because I definitely don't want to make things worse than they are.

Maybe it could be. You never know until you try! I would say Google it, but you know that's the worst for us suffering with anxiety. I've went to the chiropractor... it was so long ago though, and for a dislocated shoulder blade.

It hurt, but it felt better a few days later! Maybe some sort of hormone could be released to make you relax :)

Shoot I googled it anyways. It says that chiropractor can be a key to boosting the health of the nervous system. :)!

I would be skeptical of that. Why not try a massage or something? Reiki?

I think of a chiropractor as working on a physical issue?

Was the article written by a chiropractor? Lol

Lol well... Typically people in the field are the ones who conduct the studies. But the studies did usually include psychologists on them as well.

Massage and Reiki are great suggestions! I will look into those.
