Upon examination, the doctor noted that the patient carries much of their stress in their shoulders. After trying a handful of medications, nothing seemed to help. Which step might the doctor suggest next? a. Tell the patient to try a chiropractor The doctor is more likely to advise the patient to seek out a chiropractor. Ashwagandha is used for depression, not migraines. Hot yoga is not recommended, as it could exacerbate a headache due to dehydration. Finally, there are no licensed ayurvedic practitioners, so the doctor is not likely to suggest that.
