Does anyone here think chiropractors can help w/ mood problems. it's a known fact that your spine / central nervous system is responsible for all the Bio-feedback, if it's out of whack, maybe glands throughout the body are sending mixed signals?

I'm not sure about using chiropractic for mood issues, but I have heard of people having acupuncture for depression.

I have gone to chiropractor for problems with my back. Cannot say that I have ever noticed an improvement in my mood. Aside from alleviating the pain

I'm skeptical on that one myself. But we are all different. So give it a try. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

I'm skeptical too. From what I've seen, they pretty well claim to be able to fix everything under the sun. While there are things they're useful for, I think they overestimate their powers. Not all problems are attributable to alignment, even if they can present some argument tailored to fit neatly into their philosophy.

Go ahead and try it if you want to though. Not saying it couldn't possibly have effect, just that it sounds a bit far-fetched. Be nice if it were that simple though.

If it's not musculoskeletal, I really doubt a chiropractor will make any difference at all, save perhaps a placebo effect. Worth a try if your back is sore, but not something I'd rely upon - of course, if you're told that you need a series of treatments to see any effect, well...
