How Chiropractic Care Can Help With Stress Management

Unfortunately, there’s no cap on the amount of stress we can feel. In today’s world, tensions run high, and stress plays an integral role in how we handle ourselves, our mood, our physical and mental well-being, and our ability to live happy, engaged, and productive lives. 

The good news is that chiropractic care can minimize your stress and help you get back to your positive, constructive routine through its safe, non-invasive, established methods and techniques. 

Today, we’ll tell you how… 

 

Can a Chiropractor Help With Stress?

Chiropractors are generally known for relieving back, neck, and hip pain; however, we do much more than that. Chiropractic care can significantly reduce the symptoms you experience due to chronic stress and has been proven to lower blood pressure, decrease anxiety, and help with depression. 

The issue with stress is that it often runs in a cycle. We can get stressed from emotional trauma that leads to physical problems or physical problems that lead to emotional trauma. Once either scenario starts, it can escalate both the physical and emotional aspects. 

The natural treatments provided at our Seattle and Portland chiropractic clinics calm the nervous system, allowing you to relax and body tensions to soothe. When the body is in a state of injury, it affects us mentally and emotionally as well, so encouraging a balanced nervous system is important to finding stress relief. 

 

What is the nervous system?

Stress can aggravate every part of your body and mind. When the spinal column is injured, it directly affects the nervous system, which makes up your brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

The nervous system controls much of what we do, including:

• Walking

• Talking

• Breathing

• Reacting 

• And much more

 

However, it also controls how we think and feel and how the body responds when in an intense interaction or emergency. 

So, what’s this tell us? When the nervous system isn’t functioning correctly, it makes doing everyday activities and having appropriate responses more difficult. And, yes, that’s stressful. 

When you add chiropractic care to your wellness arsenal, it can not only help with your current stress but can also help stave it off in the future. 

 

How Can Chiropractic Care Help Manage My Stress?

Adjustments to the spine release tension, which immediately reduces stress because the body can find its natural state of calm. Once the spine is in its proper placement, the nervous system will reestablish its full, correct function. You will think, feel, and react with more confidence and rationality. 

 

Working with chiropractic professionals will provide several stress-related benefits, including:

• Minimize muscle and soft tissue tensions

• Improve the body’s overall function

• Provide proactive tips regarding exercise, nutrition, relaxation, and sleep

• Restore the nervous system

• Reduce pain, ridding you of the mental and emotional effects it caused 

• Provide safe, organic solutions that increase comfort, performance, and energy

• And more
