Stress and Your Chiropractor

By Randi Morse

It seems like everyone says how stressed they are, but how many people actually do something about their stress? Stress is a natural part of life and is something we can't avoid. When your body is overly stressed it can cause a chain reaction of events, including causing you to have headaches, to have difficulty focusing, to feeling actual pain in your muscles or joints, among other things. The good news is that there are things you can do to help alleviate your stress. Seeing a chiropractor is a great option for someone who is looking to get rid of their stress without using medication.

Muscles and Stress

How can a chiropractor help you beat back stress? Our body has a flight or fight system. When we experience stress, our body and mind goes into that flight-or-fight mode. The way our body is designed, once the stress is alleviated our body should go back into relaxation mode. If you are surrounded by too much stress, or if you have a difficult time releasing stress, your body may never fully get out of flight or fight mode. This stress makes your muscles tighten, which can cause issues with your spine and joints.

Visiting a Chiropractor

When you think about visiting a chiropractor you likely think about spinal adjustments.The truth is that chiropractors are trained to help a variety of different types of medical situations, including helping relieve stress. Using gentle manipulation and adjusting, your chiropractor can help rid your body of the stress that it is holding. It may be that you have a joint restriction which impacts the central nervous system and can prevent your brain from getting the message that you are no longer under stress. Chiropractic care is a great option to fix that. Your chiropractor can help release the restriction, improving functioning of the central nervous system.

The Joint Chiropractic has chiropractors who are ready to help you beat back your stress with a variety of tools, including gentle spinal manipulation, muscle massage, nutrition counseling, and relaxation tips. The Joint Chiropractic offers affordable rates and walk-in office hours. If you've been holding on to stress, check into The Joint Chiropractic and see how your local chiropractor can help.
