For several years Dr. David Sedghi lived, practiced and taught in the Bay Area, but he was born and raised here in SLO and home had been calling him back for some time.
He discovered the power of Chiropractic after working as a laborer post undergrad and becoming injured. After one adjustment, he couldn’t believe how much better he felt.
He then pursued a Chiropractic career in the Bay Area and after five years, decided to come back home to help the community that had helped to raise him.
As a local chiropractor, I want to share with you how chiropractic adjustments can be an effective natural method for alleviating anxiety. Many people may not realize that these adjustments can help reduce physical tension in the body and enhance the function of your nervous system. This, in turn, can lead to greater relaxation and improved mental clarity.
When you combine chiropractic care with practices such as mindfulness and regular exercise, you create a comprehensive strategy for managing anxiety effectively. You might be wondering which specific adjustments can have the greatest impact on your anxiety levels and how they contribute to your overall well-being. Let's dive into this holistic approach together, so you can better understand how chiropractic care can support you on your journey to feeling more balanced and relaxed.
Mindfulness Meditation Practices
As a local chiropractor dedicated to promoting natural healing and overall well-being, I want to introduce you to the concept of mindfulness meditation practices. These practices can significantly enhance your awareness and presence in daily life, which is crucial for maintaining not just your physical health, but also your mental well-being.
Mindfulness meditation encourages you to focus on the present moment, allowing you to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This approach can help you detach from anxiety and stress, enabling you to respond more effectively to life's challenges.
To begin your mindfulness journey, I recommend finding a quiet space where you can sit comfortably. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, bringing your attention to the natural rhythm of your breathing. As thoughts come to mind, acknowledge them but gently redirect your focus back to your breath. This practice of returning to your breath is vital for building mental resilience, which can also complement the physical adjustments we provide in chiropractic care.
Incorporating body scans into your mindfulness practice is another effective technique. As you sit or lie down, mentally scan your body from head to toe, taking note of any areas of tension or discomfort. By cultivating awareness of these sensations, you can release built-up stress and ease anxiety, which can enhance the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments.
Even dedicating just a few minutes each day to mindfulness can have a profound impact on your mental and physical well-being. Start with five minutes and gradually extend the time as you become more comfortable.
Remember, consistency is essential; the more you practice mindfulness, the easier it will be to weave it into your daily routine.
As you refine this skill, you'll discover that mindfulness can serve as a valuable buffer against anxiety, helping you navigate life's challenges with a clearer, calmer perspective.
Regular Physical Activity
As a local chiropractor, I want to emphasize the importance of regular physical activity in managing anxiety and improving your overall well-being. When you engage in exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are natural mood enhancers. This chemical process can significantly alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety, helping you to feel more relaxed and centered.
You don't have to push yourself to extremes like running marathons or lifting heavy weights to experience the benefits of exercise. Even moderate activities such as walking, cycling, or dancing can greatly improve your mood and well-being. I recommend aiming for at least 30 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week. If that seems daunting, remember that you can break it down into smaller, more manageable segments throughout your day.
It's also crucial to find an activity that you genuinely enjoy. When you look forward to your exercise routine, you're much more likely to stick with it. I encourage you to explore different options, such as yoga, swimming, or team sports, to discover what you resonate with. Participating in these activities with others can also help reduce anxiety by fostering social connections and support.
Incorporating movement into your daily life doesn't have to be complicated. Simple changes, like opting for the stairs instead of the elevator or taking a brisk walk during your lunch break, can make a big difference. Every bit of activity adds up over time and contributes to your overall health.
As your chiropractor, I'm here to support you on your journey to better health through natural healing practices, which include encouraging regular physical activity as a vital component of your wellness plan.
Healthy Sleep Habits
As a chiropractor, I understand the profound impact that quality sleep can have on your overall health and well-being. It's essential to prioritize healthy sleep habits, as they play a crucial role in managing anxiety and promoting a resilient body. One of the first steps you can take is to establish a consistent sleep schedule. Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends. This routine helps regulate your body's internal clock, making it easier for you to fall asleep and wake up feeling refreshed.
I also encourage you to create a calming bedtime routine. Engage in relaxing activities such as reading or practicing mindfulness to help your mind and body wind down. It's important to avoid screens for at least an hour before bed, as the blue light emitted can disrupt melatonin production, which is vital for a good night's sleep.
Your bedroom should serve as a sanctuary for sleep. Keeping your sleeping environment dark, quiet, and cool can significantly enhance the quality of your rest. If necessary, consider investing in blackout curtains and a white noise machine to help create the ideal sleep conditions.
Be mindful of your diet as well—limit caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime, as these can interfere with your sleep cycle and heighten anxiety the next day. If you're feeling hungry before bed, opt for a light snack instead.
Lastly, don't underestimate the benefits of regular physical activity. Exercise not only improves your sleep quality but also helps reduce stress and anxiety levels. As your chiropractor, I can work with you to develop a holistic approach that includes sleep hygiene, nutrition, and physical activity to support your overall health and well-being.
Conclusion
As a local chiropractor, I want to share with you how incorporating chiropractic adjustments into your wellness routine can help alleviate anxiety naturally. Many people are unaware that enhancing your spinal alignment can significantly reduce physical tension and improve the function of your nervous system.
When you combine chiropractic care with mindfulness meditation, regular physical activity, and healthy sleep habits, you create a holistic approach to managing anxiety. These practices work together to promote resilience and support your overall well-being. By embracing chiropractic adjustments, you can navigate life's challenges with a calmer and more balanced mindset. I encourage you to explore these natural healing methods and discover the benefits they can bring to your mental health.

It's always great when you're able to get into a new doctor's office that you've never seen before and you're pleasantly surprised by how wonderful and professional it is. This office is one of those offices. It's an amazing setup, and the best part of it is that the doctor has got the follow-through. He's a great doctor who really cares about his business and how to take care of people, and that is an exceptional standard in this day and time. I'm glad that he's moved into San Luis Obispo, and everybody will super enjoy the service that he offers.
A middle-aged male businessman who's seen chiropractors all over the United States, and I can tell you this: he's one of the best I've ever met. I'm seeing chiropractors once every week or so just for maintenance, wherever I'm at in California. Just go for it. It's a great location and a great doctor. Thank you.
I came in with hip and neck pains i could barely sit and stand straight, after our session i have been shopping all day pain free with great relief! Weill definitely be back! The lumbar stretch was so great and unfortunately did not get to try the decompression bed
Next time
I was having pain around my neck and shoulder blade for over two weeks, I made a next day appointment with DR Rodriguez. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and went straight to the exam room with no wait. DR Rodriguez did eval, X-rays then adjustment. Within an hour I was walking out pain free. I will definitely be going back for future adjustments. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I highly recommend Brookfield Spine & Health Center! Dr. Peter Geary is very professional and kind! Many teaching moments and much improved health and movement! Top notch equipment and Melanie is also efficient and kind. They value life and health, they have equipped me to sustain optimal movement and enjoy the abundant life God has given me. Always a very good experience!
I cannot rave enough about the staff and Dr Sedghi at momentum chiropractic. The staff is so kind, helpful and attentive. I came in for shoulder & neck pain that quickly disappeared after my first adjustment. I’ve been coming twice a week for about 3 weeks now and notice a significant difference in my back and posture. I’m not longer hunched over and have never seen my back straight before. I never thought my scoliosis could be helped in anyway. Thank you momentum chiropractic, I couldn’t be happier and am so grateful for having stepped foot in their office!
Such a wonderful experience! Everyone is so kind and knowledgeable! I went during my pregnancy and it helped more than I ever thought it would! Definitely recommend to everyone!
I had no range of motion in my neck, but after doing a series of decompression and gentle adjustments I can move my neck more freely without stiffness or pain.
Momentum is great. Dr. Sehgi is so knowledgeable and informative. The staff is so warm and welcoming. My chronic shoulder blade and arm pain went away after a few visits and overall my posture and level of pain has improve immensely. I’ve noticed over health benefits as well stemming from the lack of chronic back pain. Would absolutely recommend
I am a senior currently receiving Spinal Decompression Therapy. This Therapy has relieved my upper back and neck pain as well as helped me to maintain an active lifestyle pain free. Dr. Pete and Melanie are very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend Brookfield Spine Chiropractic.
I have sciatica which is painful and takes focused chiropractic treatment to relieve the pinched spinal nerve and heal. I’m just at the forefront of my treatment but am beginning to feel some results. The Team at Momentum all work hard under the leadership of Dr Sedghi. They are a most kind and caring group of professionals who provide the very best for their patients.
Add 5+ more stars to this review! Dr. Sedghi is magical along with the staff. I enjoy going in every time - it's a such a homey and welcoming environment. My body sure is grateful!
Provided much needed back pain relief. The office is very organized and flexible. I appreciate how they are able to work around by schedule. The entire team is professional and friendly.
I've recently suffered some serious injuries to my body and have been in some serious pain for some time.. After seeing Dr.David my pain level decreased and my mobility has increased.. Looking forward to healing and having my life back without pain and being able to function normally.. Thank you Dr.David
I had such a wonderful experience bringing my three-year-old in today. From the moment we walked in, the entire office was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. He was so kind, knowledgeable, and gentle with her, which made all the difference. The thoughtful follow-up call this evening truly went above and beyond and meant so much to us. We’re so grateful to have found such a caring and attentive chiropractor—highly recommend!
So glad I paid for the package plan, my body feels good and I actually want to stand up straighter now! Super nice staff and Dr. Sedghi always has a great attitude.
Am visiting CA and needed a chiropractor. Got an appointment next day as a new patient. The new patient special can't be beat anywhere. $47 includes exam, consultation, treatment and 2nd follow-up appt. Dr even called me after appt to see how I was doing. Might have to visit more often to continue great treatment! Thanks again
Dr. David is truly amazing! The entire staff is so friendly & welcoming that you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. Getting my alignment fixed has been a game-changer, not just for my physical health, but for my mental health too. It’s incredible how much better life feels when you aren't in pain. I can’t recommend this practice enough!
Great staff and personalized care. Dr. Sedghi is honest and well informed. He has your best interest in mind and is willing to work to your needs. I highly recommend Momentum Health Chiropractic!
Just want everyone to know....Dr Sedghi is a miracle wrker. He is gentle . He does a great job . The staff is so welcoming, friendly. My husband and I have been seeing Dr.Sedghi regularly for 2 yrs now. Our bodies are doing well. We feel great. Love Momentum ❤️
Wonderful first visit, most importantly I felt like I was treated as an individual, no cookie cutter treatments here! You will be assessed, treated, and cared for based on all of your own personal symptoms or ailments.
Earlier this year I began to experience vertigo symptoms, constant fatigue, dizziness, and other issues that made it near impossible to live normally. When my neurologist was unable to diagnose me, I was recommended to find a “balance doctor.” As of October 1 of this year, Dr. Sedghi was the only one able to diagnose me and I began to receive treatment with a personalized plan to get me back to living normally again. Side note, the team he has in office is wonderful and helpful in every regard. After a few months now, I can say that I have been given back my life and am happy to continue seeing this team as I move forward from my plan.
Dr. Sedghi and his staff are amazing! They all have great bedside manner and the front desk people always greet me with a smile and call me by my name when I walk through the door.<br>The day I walked into Momentum Health Chiropractic, I had constant pain and tingling from my neck all the way down my left arm. If I tried to lift my head up I would get lightning bolts shooting down my arm. Now a few weeks into treatment, the lightning bolts are long gone and the pain and tingling are intermittent. I can't wait to see where it goes from here!
Thank you Momentum Health care. I have been seeing Dr. Sedghi for several weeks and I already feel relief in my back.<br>The whole team has been great, a very organized and caring team. I am very grateful, that I found Momentum Health Chairopractic.
Very professional and courteous staff. Doctor is very thorough in his approach and knowledgeable in how to achieve my desired pain relief. I recommend Momentum Chiropractic to anyone who wants passionate and effective chiropractic care.
Dr. Sedghi is the best Chiropractor I've ever been to!!! He is very knowledgeable and explains everything in a way I can understand. His Office Manager is always sweet and helpful!! I highly recommend his office!!!
Momentum is great. They get you in and get you out. The staff is very accommodating and they’re great about following up for care and getting you back in when you need it.
I was recently diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease after a couple of violent vertigo attacks. I am also convinced that the vertigo may have to do with vestibular migraine. I came to Momentum Chiropractic hoping that chiropractic treatment might be something that could help with all of my ongoing symptoms. Dr. Sedghi took a couple of X-rays that confirmed some issues in my upper cervical spine. I am just a few weeks into treatment here and am already seeing great improvement. Dr. Sedghi is kind, patient, and compassionate, and his staff is amazing. Every time I walk through the doors, I feel welcome and hopeful. I was hesitant about trying a new chiropractor. I’m glad I did and happy I found this place. Definitely recommend!
Dr. Sedghi is a bit of a miracle worker. I suffered from lower back pain for years. And after working with him for 6 months, I was basically paying free. The staff is absolutely amazing and supporting as well. Cannot recommend highly enough. Got spinal decompression. Got time on the roller table. Got an adjustments from the doctor. A life-changing experience.
I had a stubborn lower back pain for several years that didn’t seem to have any fix. After starting chiropractic adjustments at Momentum, Dr.Sedghi recommended trying spinal decompression. I have been doing spinal decompression twice a month for about a year now, and the lower back pain has been completely gone since my first appointment! Staff is always welcoming and has been more than accommodating with several schedule changes I’ve had due to work. Highly recommend!
I went in because I had been having bad headaches after brain surgery in 2015. Since coming to Momentum Chiropractic my headaches have gone down in how many I was getting. I wish I would have done it a long time ago. All the staff are very friendly. Thank you to the whole team at Momentum Chiropractic you are the best.
Dr. Sedghi and his team are very professional and welcoming. After experiencing trauma which effected my back, shoulder and legs Dr. Sedghi has been tremendously effective in getting me healthy again. We appreciate everything he has done for both my husband and I.
Dr. Sedghi is amazing! Much relief from my pain on the first visit! He definitely helped my daughter with her migraines. Professional and kind staff! So thankful for these great people!
Dr. Sedghi and the team at Momentum have made such a difference in my quality of life. I struggle with RA joint pain and disc issues. I was injured last summer which made things even more difficult and thankfully ended up in Dr. Sedghi's care.<br>The nerve pain from my spine is almost completely gone. I see Dr. Sedghi once a week now. Decompression in combination with adjustments has made a difference for me. Two of my children have also gotten relief from treatment. One from chronic ear infections and the other from athletic injuries.<br>The office is state of the art, clean and relaxing. The equipment is new and the staff are detail oriented and always concerned with my comfort.<br>I feel blessed to be part of the Momentum family.
I have only had one chiropractor that was very good but Dr. David Sedghi beats even the other guy<br>If you have never gone to a chiropractor before the doctor will make sure you are well taken care of and are comfortable. They entire team are very friendly and helpful. After the first visit the doctor calls in the evening to make sure you are doing ok an d do you have any problems.<br>Have a fantastic visit when you go.<br>CR Hutchins
Best experience I’ve ever had with Chiropractic care.. I have had back pain for years and this fixes and relieves my pain. The fabulous ladies at the front are amazing. They are so positive and friendly, always welcoming you in and making you feel comfortable. Dr Sedghi has noticed the smallest details that have been missed in the past.<br>I was having knee pain and didn’t even mention it, but he noticed my fibula was out of alignment and fixed my knee pain immediately. I look forward to every appointment for relief and feeling better.
Went in a skeptic and was pleasantly surprised with the results. Great cheerful staff and a knowledgeable Dr. make for a great experience. Thanks guys!
