Depression and Anxiety Gone
I started chiropractic care in November 2010. I originally came to see Dr. Braile because, at the time, I was going through EXTREME periods of depression and anxiety, trying out different medications, and experiencing many different physical symptoms.
For my age, was definitely not normal, I am 23. I had never been on medication before, but something in me just snapped and I was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and placed on temporary meds which caused even more severe issues when I withdrew off Xanax.
For anyone who has had anxiety and depression, you know that the experience is very crippling. It was hard for me to stay focused or optimistic that anything or anyone could help me. I literally thought I was doomed for the rest of my life and I was scared of even leaving my house. I began seeing Dr. Bob with hopes of trying out different therapies to overcome these issues and I figured Chiropractic could only help with the problems I was having.
With the anxiety came a lot of physical symptom: shortness of breath, chest pains, light-headedness, dizziness and many other random issues that can mimic sever physical problems. I didn’t want to stay on medication, but it was something that I realized I needed until all of my problems got sorted out.
Today I am anxiety and depression free which is something I never thought I’d experience at any point in my life. I have all of my confidence back and then some. I’m a completely different person because of the issues I experienced and none of those fears that I had previously have any control over me. Even though I cannot say Chiropractic was the “cure-all” for the problems I was experiencing (as I did seek out many different treatments), I know during all of my treatments, I felt immediately better after each session. It was just what I was seeking when crippled with anxiety and couldn’t get a break from.
Among other things, I had many other issues at the time I started receiving my treatment. After a few short treatments, I noticed my IBS was no longer bothersome, headaches were very rare, and from sleeping on my stomach so much I had developed a slight pain in my lower back when lying down. This completely vanished after 1 treatment and has yet to return.
I’ve been going for over a year now and noticed that stress no longer bothers me, anxiety and depression are gone, my whole attitude and outlook on life changed completely. As far as being sick goes, I only get a cold about once a year which only lasts for a day or 2. The worst part was the long-lasting sore throat. Now when I get a cold, I don’t even get the sore throat, just a slight sinus infection.
My eyes ALWAYS bothered me during the spring and fall due to pollen and allergies. Now my eyes are perfectly fine during these times of year.
Overall, I feel like chiropractic has benefitted me greatly and I’m a completely different person because of it.

Low back pain, neck tightness had become the “normal” with time. I started thinking this was my “norm”. I had low energy too. Then I developed hip pain that hurt in two areas. It was terrible. It got even worse when I had taken a Zumba class. I was fine the first month of Zumba, and then it became horrible. I couldn’t sleep because of the pain. I couldn’t lay on my side or back!
