Chiropractic for stress reduction can help minimize the affects of anxiety on your body – physically, chemically and emotionally.

Chiropractic for Stress Reduction
Chiropractic for stress reduction can help minimize anxiety and bring more relaxation to your busy life. From balancing the stress of work, kids, relationships and accidental injuries, chiropractic care can naturally help lessen the weight of it all.
Physical
Physical stress can be caused by a variety of reasons. From injury to everyday stress that we put on our bodies, such as bad posture or sitting too long, physical issues arise within our body. Additional stress on the body and its mechanics can result in an imbalance in the spine. All of the nerves travel down your spine and exit through your muscle, skin and internal organs. When your body is physically stressed it can have a negative impact on your overall health. Chiropractic for stress reduction can help ease physical stress on the body.
Emotional
Emotional stress is easy for all of us to relate to. Living in Bend right now can be stressful if you’re looking for a home to rent. Add on to that the everyday stresses of work, kids, relationships and generally living life. Thoughts and feelings associated with these factors can apply a great deal of stress on the mind and body. These anxieties can cause your body not to function at the optimum level. Emotional stress can cause your muscles to become tighter, result in higher blood pressure and cause subluxations within the spine itself.
Chemical
From excessive alcohol intake to different diets to environmental pollution, many factors contribute to chemical stress. Stress brought on by chemical reactions in the body can cause damage to your internal systems. Chemical stress comes from your body trying to break down and handle what is causing it. Overloads on your system can lead to physical and emotional stress, as well as damage to your body.
How Chiropractic for Stress Reduction Can Help
In order to combat physical, emotional and chemical stress, many different habits can be adapted including eating well, getting enough sleep and exercising daily. When stress is chronic and taking a negative effect on you both physically and emotionally, chiropractic care can help decrease this.
Stress in the muscles can create an unbalanced spine. Chiropractic adjustments can manage physical, emotional and chemical stress in the body by finding spinal misalignments and subluxations and correcting them. Chiropractic adjustments have many stress relieving benefits including decreased muscle pain, improved circulation, decrease in headaches and they can help release endorphins, which are natural stress-relieving chemicals in the body.
Chiropractic for stress reduction can help tell the nervous system to relax, which will cause the stress response to fade. A chiropractor can also provide you with relaxation techniques to pair with chiropractic adjustments. By making changes to your environment and habits you can take better advantage of the stress relieving techniques applied to your nervous system by a chiropractor.
