Stress is a normal part of life, but it seems to be everywhere you look these days. On top of everyday stressors like taking care of your home, family, and work responsibilities, we are in the midst of a pandemic and election season.
Although there are many stressors outside of our control, we are often responsible for putting stress on ourselves. Some stress may be normal and beneficial, in most cases, it can have negative health impacts. Many studies have shown the adverse effects stress can have on our health including weight gain, sleep loss, and mental disorders. Stress awareness is always important, and today is National Stress Awareness Day so it’s the perfect time to learn how chiropractic can help with stress.
How Chiropractic Can Reduce Stress
Many people think chiropractors are just for relieving back or neck pain, but there are many benefits to chiropractic care that can improve overall health and wellness.
Because the spine is the foundation of the nervous system, the health of your spine can determine how you feel both physically and mentally. When your spine is healthy, your nervous system can function at its best, which includes managing stress.
In many cases, a subluxation or misalignment of the spine can interfere with how well your nervous system communicates with the rest of your body. This can lead to increased stress and anxiety. The subluxations can also cause issues beyond back pain, including migraines and headaches. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help you manage stress and reduce anxiety. Plus, a well-adjusted spine helps boost the immune system and promote better sleep habits, which can help fight off stress. The treatments at Healthy Life Chiropractic can also relieve pain you may be experiencing, which can have a huge impact on stress.
