Mental health struggles can feel incredibly isolating, especially when traditional treatments don’t offer the full relief you’re looking for. Many individuals navigating depression or anxiety are beginning to explore a more integrative approach—one that includes physical health as part of the emotional healing journey.
At Dr. Matt Herres’ office, we understand that emotional well-being and nervous system function are closely linked. Chiropractic care is not a cure for mental illness—but it may serve as a powerful complement to your wellness plan by improving your body’s ability to regulate stress and stay balanced.
How Chiropractic Adjustments May Support Emotional Wellness
When your spine is misaligned—whether from poor posture, injury, or daily stress—your nervous system can struggle to function at its best. This can amplify stress signals, disrupt sleep, and even contribute to fatigue and brain fog.
By performing gentle, targeted spinal adjustments, Dr. Herres works to improve communication between your brain and body. This can help regulate the release of cortisol (your stress hormone) and support parasympathetic activity—the part of your nervous system responsible for calming your mind and body.
Many patients report improvements such as:
-
Better sleep quality
-
Increased energy levels
-
A greater sense of calm
-
Improved mood and focus
The Science Behind Chiropractic and Mood Support
Although chiropractic care is not a replacement for therapy or medication, research suggests it can be beneficial in reducing the physical effects of stress on the body. Tension in the upper neck and back, in particular, can interfere with blood flow and nerve function that influence how we feel emotionally.
Dr. Herres evaluates each patient to identify specific areas of spinal stress or subluxation that may be impacting overall well-being. Using a custom plan tailored to your unique needs, our care focuses on restoring balance—so your body and mind can work in harmony.
