How We Treat Anxiety & Depression in Little Falls, NJ
The Chiropractic Connection to Mental Health
The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary functions like heart rate, digestion, and stress response. When spinal misalignments—known as subluxations—interfere with nerve communication, the ANS can become dysregulated. This may manifest as heightened anxiety, mood swings, or depressive symptoms. Dr. Giesenhaus uses advanced diagnostic tools, including X-rays and neurological scans, to identify these areas of interference.
Gentle, Non-Invasive Adjustments
Unlike traditional chiropractic techniques that involve cracking or twisting, Dr. Giesenhaus employs a gentle, non-force approach tailored to each patient’s comfort level. Her adjustments aim to remove nerve interference, allowing the brain and body to communicate freely again. This restoration of balance helps the ANS return to its normal function, which can lead to improved emotional regulation, better sleep, and reduced stress.
A Supportive Healing Environment
Patients consistently praise the warm, family-like atmosphere at Core Chiropractic. Dr. Giesenhaus and her team take time to listen, understand each patient’s history, and create a personalized care plan.
