Chiropractic care aims to optimize spinal function and improve overall well-being. Multiple studies have found that correcting vertebral subluxations through chiropractic adjustments can enhance psychological well-being. One study showed that a woman's quality of life improved after 9 months of chiropractic care that reduced her vertebral subluxations. Similarly, case studies found that chiropractic care eliminated vertebral subluxations and significantly reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. While medication may provide quick relief, chiropractic offers a long-term approach to well-being without side effects by addressing the root cause of vertebral subluxations.
