Chiropractic for Caregivers: Stop the Holiday Stress

By Brandi Goodman 

November is National Family Caregivers Month. The stress of the holidays is tough on everybody, but family caregivers can have an especially hard time trying to find the balance between sanity and madness. Care from a chiropractor can be just what you need to stop the stress and enhance your well-being.

Reducing Tension

Stress builds up as tension in the body. You might start to feel a nagging pain in your neck, shoulders, or upper back. A visit to the chiropractor can help this tension get released. You may be able to get your pain eliminated so you have a little less stress to deal with going forward. 

Improving Sleep

Sleep often becomes interrupted when stress is significant. You may have aching muscles due to tension that make it difficult to get comfortable. You might be staying awake all night with thoughts weighing heavy on your mind. Chiropractic care can reduce your stress and therefore improve your sleep. Better sleep means you're more likely to make it through your day without letting added stress get to you. 

Getting Further Advice

Your chiropractor does more than provide an adjustment. He or she will go a step further and provide advice that can continue your journey toward better health. You can ask for additional guidance on reducing stress. For example, your doctor of chiropractic may offer some stretches that can ease the tension in your body when you're feeling overwhelmed. Exercise is a great stress reliever on its own. You might get ideas on the right foods to eat that will benefit your body and be encouraged to drink plenty of water to keep your mind and body hydrated.

Chiropractic for Your Loved One

You aren't the only one who should receive chiropractic. The family member you're responsible for caring for should get chiropractic care as well. If their discomfort is part of why you feel so stressed because you're unsure of what to do for them, then taking them to a chiropractor can help to ease your mind. A joint restriction or subluxation could be causing pain. This can make it more difficult for your loved one to move on their own or even express where their precise pain point starts. Getting them chiropractic care could benefit you both.

Chiropractic care is essential for anyone suffering from stress. As a family caregiver you most likely have a tough time finding time for yourself. Using respite care for your loved one while you take time away for your chiropractic visit can be just what you need to revitalize your mind and improve your health.
