Anxiety? Panic Attacks?

According to WebMD, “When panic and anxiety symptoms escalate into anxiety attacks and panic attacks, it may be an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and panic disorder.

Panic Attack Symptoms

Panic attacks involve sudden feelings of terror that strike without warning. These episodes can occur at any time, even during sleep. People experiencing a panic attack may believe they are having a heart attack or they are dying or going crazy. The fear and terror that a person experiences during a panic attack are not in proportion to the true situation and may be unrelated to what is happening around them. Most people with panic attacks experience several of the following symptoms:

• “Racing” heart
• Feeling weak, faint, or dizzy
• Tingling or numbness in the hands and fingers
• Sense of terror, or impending doom or death
• Feeling sweaty or having chills
  
• Chest pains
• Breathing difficulties
• Feeling a loss of control ”
  

Anxiety attacks and panic attack symptoms are often treated with medication and psychotherapy. However, are those the only solutions and or relief to these problems? The good news is, they are not.

Even though Chiropractic does not treat anxiety or panic attacks by any means, people have experienced enormous benefit in regards to their anxiety and or panic attack symptoms while under care.

Chiropractic, specifically Upper Cervical Care focuses on restoring brain to body communication by removing stress from the brain stem and upper spinal cord (Central Nervous System) caused by a Subluxation (Misalignment). Thereby allowing important brain signals to travel through the nerves, that come from the brain stem and travel to different organs, cells and tissues, without any interference. This allows the body to function normally, produce all crucial hormones in its timely manner, produce and process necessary chemicals, absorb and eliminate nutrients and toxins efficiently.

This could also be the reason why, not only people you have anxiety or panics attacks but even people with depression, Bipolar disorder and or chronic fatigue, end up feeling happier and more energetic.

Here are what a few patients had to say about their experience:

“I came in to Essence of Life Spinal Care for the Anxiety, Indigestion, Neck and lower back pain that I was having. Dr. Miranda found the cause of my problem to be, too much pressure being put on my brain stem due to the Upper Cervical bones being out of place or misaligned. After starting care I noticed that me neck started feeling much more relaxed, my shoulders evened up and my Anxiety and Indigestion calmed down. Now I have better range of motion in my neck and I see overall improvement both physically and mentally. My Anxiety was the biggest problem but now I’m better with being around people since my heart isn’t racing as much as it used to. I would definitely recommend this care to others.”

“I came into Essence of Life Spinal Care for anxiety, headaches, neck pain and neck spasms. After starting care I noticed that my headaches diminished and the neck pain decreased the very same day. I had more energy, more flexibility and easier movements. I found out that my neck was out of alignment, my cervical spine shifted and was causing my problems. My health has drastically improved and I no longer need to take tylenol or anxiety medication like before. I am able to work and play without having to take breaks. My function has improved and I am able to concentrate better without the pain my body was in before. I would definitely recommend this care to others.”   -Melissa Leinweber
