Chiropractic Care and Psychological Health with Dr. Amir Rashidian

Dive into Episode #122 of the Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast, featuring host Dr. I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, and special guest Dr. Amir Rashidian, a chiropractor of over 20 years. Dr. Rishidian pulls back the curtain and establishes that chiropractic science is more than back and spinal alignment. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to positively affect mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. By correcting misalignments in the spine, chiropractic care can improve nerve function, promoting better mental and emotional well-being. When the spine is aligned correctly, nerve signals can flow more freely, allowing the body to function optimally. Studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments can help regulate the release of stress hormones, such as cortisol, and increase the production of endorphins, which are natural mood enhancers. Additionally, chiropractic care has been found to improve sleep quality, which is crucial for maintaining good mental health.
