Are you looking for a way to relieve holiday stress?

Stress is something that affects many of us, especially amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. 75% of all diseases in the U.S. are stress and lifestyle related including heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. With Christmas and the New Year creeping around the corner, it may be a good time to evaluate your physical and mental well-being. Treating stress with chiropractic care may be just what your mind and body need. It can ultimately help you manage your stress and improve your way of living.

Humans perceive stress from three different sources: the environment, our emotions, and our body. Body stress can include poor nutrition, organ malfunction, physical injuries, and more. Chiropractic care and relaxation techniques can combat body stress before it leads to more serious issues like prolonged muscle tension and nerve irritation.

There are numerous factors that can contribute to stress in your life. Things like busy schedules, work deadlines, relationship problems, and health issues can cause an uptick of stress. If you are prone to headaches and migraines, chiropractic care may be the perfect pain management solution. Regularly visiting a chiropractor can also ensure migraine pain prevention and can overall reduce pain caused by migraines. If you are experiencing an unusual amount of stress, it’s probably time to contact your chiropractor to discuss a healthy way to manage it.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care Regarding Stress

  • A spinal adjustment can release muscle tension and return the body back to a normal and balanced state.
  • A spinal adjustment can reduce spinal nerve irritation.
  • A spinal adjustment increases blood circulation.
  • A healthy spine is the key to effectively managing stress.

How Can a Chiropractor Help You?

Since chiropractors work primarily with the spine, they understand the root of the nervous system and how chronic stress can affect the mind and body. They work to help you develop a healthier response to stress so you can get your health back on track. They can often recommend relaxation techniques for you to practice at home to continue down the path of holistic health and wellness.

If the holidays have you feeling exceptionally stressed and you can feel the tension in your neck, back, and other parts of your body, it’s probably time to schedule a chiropractic appointment. You can schedule your appointment at Crist Chiropractic with our online scheduling system or you can give us a call at 615-771-0022.
