STRESS

Stress affects each and every one of us, but in very different ways.  Stress can affect us not only on an emotional level but also on a physical level.  In fact dealing with stress emotionally long enough will eventually affect us on the physical level as well.  Evidence of stress related illness is becoming more common.  It affects children with peer pressure, grades, sports and so on.  Adults are affected by their jobs, finances, families, divorce and the list is endless.

Physical stresses can be accidents, over worked, and poor habits such as sitting at a desk all day.  The conditions range from backaches to headaches and even hypertension, decreased immune system  and increased illness.

Emotional stresses can be from death, struggling marriages, bosses  and just everyday life.  The affects can be depression, anger, loss of sleep and the feeling of helplessness.

The bottom line, physical or mental, stress starts a chain reaction that affects our health.  It affects our health by altering cells, tissues, organs and even our systems function. 

These stress can all lead to spinal fixation and subluxations.  Doctors of Chiropractic are trained to detect and correct  these interferences, helping you to cope with both physical and mental stress.   You might not think you are stressed now, but even past stress can still be taking it’s course thru your body in the form of ongoing tightness, headaches and even pain.  Left untreated, all of these not only give you lingering symptoms but can even lead to arthritis of the spine.

Don’t wait..your health is your most important asset!!
