Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression often go together and western medicine also seeks to treat both with many different pharmaceuticals. Patients who come to Dr. Patterson with anxiety or depression or both, often have been through many other doctors with no success in it being treated or cured. Dr. Patterson doesn’t claim to cure anyone, but he does work to clear the negative energies that could be causing the patient to present with anxiety and depression.

There are many theories behind the reasons why people get anxiety and depression. A big theory is involved with the idea of not having enough serotonin in the brain, or serotonin reabsorption is too great. This is the reasoning behind medical doctors prescribing SSRI’s (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor’s).

Sometimes doctors in general forget that serotonin, along with many other neurotransmitters in the brain are primarily produced in the gut. Due to this, Dr. Patterson with his knowledge in functional medicine, may look into your diet, or prescribe herbal and nutritional supplementation to aid in your ability to assimilate and digest your nutrition. Proteins are the basic building blocks in the production of neurotransmitters in the gut.

Anxiety and depression may be an inherited imbalance running in the family down the generational line. With the aid of muscle testing, Dr. Patterson can identify if an imbalance is inherited and work with you to clear it!

Where we put our intention is where our energy goes; and if we can intend to change, then we can change our very being, even our nervous system and our DNA! It is our DNA in specific organs, having specific cells, that perform specific tasks which in turn produce specific proteins that are designed to meet our needs and our wants. Yes, our wants as well! If we have a subconscious program or negative belief system that we are holding onto, we can create proteins from our genes, or stop producing proteins from our genes, to fulfill that program or belief. People sometimes call this, “self fulfilling prophecies.”

Dr. Patterson has incredible energy and is extremely personable and caring. I have 4 young children - he was extremely patient and understanding about wiggles and loud noises. After our first visit, I witnessed immediate results for myself and my children, and have continued to see more results as we’ve had continued appointments. But my biggest take away was the knowledge Dr. Patterson gave to me of simple practices to empower myself and my family on a daily basis.

Dr.Josef Patterson has been my chiropractor for the last 10 years. I am now 88 years old and have had excruciating pain in the calves of both legs since I was a teenager .I have had this problem that has felt like a mouse chewing on my bones.Since I have been going to him it was been very exciting because he uses a special technique. I have been so blessed to have found him.When my pain comes back, which is not very often, then he'll give me a treatment and the pain goes away.

Highly recommend Patterson! I have been seeing him since 2018 and plan on continuing to see him as long as circumstances allow. One of the only doctors I have felt has had my best interest in mind from the beginning. Many other doctors treat symptoms while Patterson is always aiming for the root cause. Great man and amazing doctor!

Through muscle testing we are better able to assess what the body is actually going through and identify treatments that will address the problems’ root cause.
