This study cited prior research that showed of the 2818 patients undergoing chiropractic care, 76% reported an improvement in their mental/emotional health.  As the spine becomes aligned and pain decreases, anxiety and depression sprouting from pain are proven to lessen throughout treatment. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, major depression at any point in time impacts roughly 3 to 5 percent of all people.
