How My Chiropractor Helped My Anxiety Vanish

In my early 20s, I suffered frequent frightening anxiety and did not know where to turn.

When I was home alone, I experienced quick pulse rates and a scary sense of approaching doom. It started getting to the point at which I would feel the precise sensation whenever I was driving my vehicle alone. It was pretty frightening. These feelings that I was having are typically called “Anxiety” or “Panic” Attacks.

I remember visiting a couple of emergency rooms, even while on vacation in sunny Las Vegas. It was pretty uncomfortable. Once I got to the hospital, I right away had a sense of calming relief. I recall visiting one doctor in the trauma room and she asked me if I’d describe what I was feeling. I explained my frightening sensations to her and had been feeling like I was going to faint. She told me to go on and pass out since I was in the right place. Of course, I didn't.

This awful anxiety went on for some time and doctors told me that it was all in my head. My health was suffering and I felt defenseless.

One day, My Mom suggested that I visit her Chiropractor. She suspected maybe I was experiencing these symptoms because of being out of alignment. I was thinking, why not? Nobody else was helping me.

I went for my first visit and it turns out that I really WAS out of alignment. Over the course of several months he gave me needed adjustments. He also treated me for anything that hurt me and even gave me ultrasound treatments when I had dreadful cramps.

I had disclosed to him that I had been suffering with severe anxiety and failed to know what to do. After each session, he would take the time to sit and truly talk to me about my life. This Chiropractor was, without a doubt, one of the kindest people I ever met. He appeared to care about me as not simply a patient but as a real person.

My Chiropractor actually gave me his private home number and asked me to call him any time of the day or night if I had an attack and needed to talk. Just having his home number, somehow gave me a massive amount of required comfort. I never called him, but was glad to have his number nearby.

After visiting my Chiropractor for many months, my horrible anxiety went away. I believe I just felt better understanding that somebody really cared and did not treat me like I was nuts. I’ll always remember him. He was the best advisor I could ever ask for.

If you suffer with anxiety, there are several good books on the topic which should be very helpful. Also, find a medical professional that won’t only simply listen to you, but care about you as an individual. You may be in a position to get over your anxiety like I did. I’m totally happy, extremely healthy and my anxiety is gone!
