There are many different things happening that can cause stress but one thing is for sure, there’s no way to avoid it. From work projects to family responsibilities, there are constant stressors in our life…especially given the current situation with COVID-19 and an election. Today is Stress Awareness Day, so it’s the perfect time to learn some tools to manage stress and about the connection between chiropractic and stress relief.

THE STRESS/SPINE CONNECTION

At Wills Chiropractic, our chiropractors are well-equipped to help relieve stress and provide you with tools to manage it. So how does chiropractic help? Your spine is a key component of your central nervous system (CNS), which forms the communication between your body and brain. When your spine is healthy, you may see an improvement in your overall health and wellness, including how you feel.

A targeted and effective spinal adjustment may be used to remove dysfunction from the spine and correct subluxations which will lead to pain relief and improved wellness. Many of our patients report feeling more relaxed and even benefit from better sleep. Each patient we treat has their own unique needs and our chiropractors create custom treatment plans for those specific needs. Whether it’s general wellness or pain relief you are looking for, we are committed to helping you feel your best.

STRESS RELIEF TIPS

Along with regular chiropractic care, here are some additional steps you can take to relieve and manage stress.

Get Moving – Whether you prefer yoga, running, CrossFit, or anything in between, staying active helps boost the production of endorphins, which are the brains feel-good neurotransmitters. Even a walk around the neighborhood can boost your mood and improve your health. For more suggestions on at-home exercises, just ask during your next appointment.

Meditate – Meditation isn’t for everyone, but even a few minutes each day focusing on your breath and clearing your mind can help relax your mind and body and put you at ease.

Laugh – You’ve certainly heard that laughter is the best medicine and it certainly helps with stress relief. Try giving your favorite funny friend a call or tune in to a funny TV show. Laughter can relax muscles and relieve your stress response.
