Chiropractic for Mental Health

Dr. Kirsten Foullong
May 15, 2025
An adult receives a nervous system based chiropractic adjustment, which can help with mental health symptoms.

We often think of mental health struggles as purely emotional—but what if they’re actually neurological?

If you or your child feel anxious, disconnected, constantly overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode, your nervous system might be the missing piece. At Pinnacle Chiropractic, we specialize in nervous system-based care that goes beyond the surface symptoms and helps families find real healing.

The Hidden Link: Mental Health & the Nervous System

Your nervous system controls everything—your mood, focus, energy, and how you handle stress. When it’s stuck in fight-or-flight, it sends signals of danger to your brain... even when you’re safe.

This leads to symptoms like:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Brain fog

  • Fatigue

  • Mood swings

  • Trouble sleeping

  • Digestive issues

And no, it’s not just in your head.

How Chiropractic Can Help

Our approach uses INSiGHT scans to measure stress, inflammation, and muscle tension—hard data on how your nervous system is functioning.

Through gentle, specific adjustments, we help your brain and body:

  • Shift out of survival mode

  • Sleep deeper

  • Calm racing thoughts

  • Improve mood and focus

  • Build resilience over time

Real Stories, Real Results

We’ve helped:

  • Teens find peace from daily anxiety

  • Moms overcome postpartum depression, anxiety, and other symptoms

  • Dads return to a calmer, more grounded version of themselves

The best part? It’s safe, drug-free, and deeply impactful.

You deserve to feel regulated, calm, and in control again. Book a consultation with us today—and let’s get to the root of what’s been holding you back.
