Mental Health Chiropractic

Mental Health Chiropractic Lakeville

Work demands. World events. Family issues. School pressures. It’s no wonder so many people are awash in stress given how much they have to deal with daily. When not kept in check, that stress can result in many mental health issues. At Enlighten Chiropractic, we want to help patients dial back the stress in their lives so they can relax and enjoy life—not at full throttle.

Our Stress-Busting Specialists

Dr. Nick and Dr. Brielle are highly trained neurological chiropractors who specialize in understanding the deep connection between mental health, the brain, and the nervous system. Their expertise goes beyond traditional chiropractic care, focusing on how spinal health and neurological function directly impact emotional well-being, cognitive function, and overall mental health.

To further expand their expertise with advanced training from the American College of Addictionology and Compulsive Disorders. This specialized education equips them to help patients manage addiction, compulsive behaviors, and nervous system imbalances. Their dedication to continuous learning earned them Diplomate status, recognizing their advanced skills in neurological chiropractic care.

Your Natural Path to Better Mental Health

Neurological chiropractic care addresses nervous system imbalances that can trigger or worsen anxiety symptoms. By improving spinal function and reducing nervous system stress, many patients experience a calmer mind and reduced anxiety responses.

Chronic stress creates physical tension patterns that neurological chiropractors can identify and address. Treatment helps regulate stress hormones and activates the parasympathetic “rest and digest” system, promoting natural relaxation and resilience.

Poor spinal alignment can restrict blood flow to the brain and compromise nerve function. Specialized neurological adjustments help restore optimal communication between brain and body, improving mental clarity and cognitive function.

Neurological imbalances often disrupt sleep patterns. By addressing these underlying issues, many patients report falling asleep more easily, experiencing deeper sleep cycles, and waking feeling more refreshed without medication.

The brain-body connection significantly impacts emotional wellbeing. Neurologically-focused adjustments help optimize neurotransmitter balance and nervous system function, supporting more stable mood patterns and emotional regulation.

Neurological chiropractic care targets pathways that affect attention and focus. By improving nervous system efficiency and reducing interference, many patients experience enhanced concentration and mental performance in daily activities.

Mental fatigue and energy crashes can stem from nervous system imbalances. Specialized neurological care helps optimize the body’s energy production and regulation systems, supporting consistent mental stamina throughout the day.

Our Bodies’ Two States

A healthy body should be able to fluctuate between the sympathetic state and the parasympathetic state. Let’s take a look at each one:

Sympathetic

This state is also referred to as “fight or flight.” Let’s say you have a bear behind you. All the blood comes out of your internal organs and shoots to your muscles. Your brain is going 100 mph in short bursts of anxiety. Being in this state is useful if your survival depends on it. What happens for many people, however, is they get stuck in this mode. The neurochemical cortisol (which is helpful short-term) can increase and may lead to adrenal burnout over time.

From an evolutionary standpoint, we should only be in a sympathetic state for a few minutes until the threat passes. However, with the ever growing demands of life in the 21st century from work deadlines and hectic schedules to relationship stress and family demands, many people are simply burnt out.

Parasympathetic

Also known as the rest and digest mode, the parasympathetic state is when you’re relaxed. It’s like how you feel after an enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner. There’s no bear chasing you. No worries.

Release Your Stress

Our doctors utilize specific chiropractic analysis to look for these patterns of stress and ease in the body. We find an area that’s asymptomatic—where there’s ease in the body—and that’s typically where we adjust.
TRT uses an instrument to deliver a light force. By removing that interference between the brain and the rest of the body, your muscles are able to relax naturally.
You’ll likely experience a parasympathetic healing wave which brings relaxation to the whole body. Chronically tight muscles start to relax. Those with headaches find relief. Your body naturally begins to engage in diaphragmatic breathing, which ignites a wave of relaxation to release chronic, stuck patterns. Your body is then able to shift back and forth between stress and relaxation.
In addition to a reduction in stress, you may sleep better, finding that you’re finally able to “shut your brain off” at the end of the day.
