Chiropractic Soothes the Body to Shut Down Stress
By Sandy Schroeder
As the year rolls ahead, our world often generates stress. If everybody at your house is frowning, and the dog is hiding, you know it’s time for relief.
How do you survive?
- Weekend sailing or hiking?
- A week of camping bliss?
- Short workdays, and long nights on the patio?
- Lazy afternoons by the pool?
- A serious surge of shopping?
We all find ways to cope. But chiropractic may be one you missed.
Stop by The Joint Chiropractic clinic near you to find out more. Be prepared to be surprised and pleased. The dedicated staff of licensed chiropractors see a steady stream of teens, adults, and seniors. In each case, they seek pain relief and wellness without medications.
See Your Chiropractor
Bring your questions about stress or pain and get to know your chiropractor. The focus will be on your spinal health, which may improve your overall health.
The spine, and the intricate nervous system inside, serve as command central 24/7 for everything we do. When there are glitches, brain to body messages may become confused. Or pain may arrive and linger in the back, neck, arms, hands, legs or feet.
Your chiropractor may use a spinal adjustment to sort everything out. The adjustment is a gentle, focused movement of the spine, and extremities, to improve motion, and reduce nerve irritation.
You may experience pain relief, and an overall sense of well-being. As you relax, you may sleep better, eat healthier, and laugh more.
Enjoy Less Stress
To keep the benefits flowing, weekly 15-minute adjustments often work. At the same time, you may want to sample yoga, tai chi, or mindfulness meditation classes.
Breathing can be another very portable way to quickly release stress. When the meeting at work runs too long, or a new family crisis hits, find a quiet place to sit and let your breath calm everything.
Try this exercise from Easy Health Options:
- Raise your rib cage. Pause, breathing normally for a minute.
- Inhale through your nose. Pull your stomach in toward your spine. Hold it with the rib cage raised.
- Release as you open your mouth and quickly exhale. Let your whole body relax.
