Stress can affect you more than you might realize so it is important to learn about how it can affect your body and what you can do to help alleviate stress. There are three types of stress:
- Physical Stress - Caused by repetitive motions (typing at a computer all day, texting, etc.), postural distortions (falling asleep with your neck twisted), injuries from a car accidents, slip and falls, even the birthing process is considered a physical stress.
- Mental Stress - This is something most everyone has experienced. Have you ever faced an impossible deadline at work? Or grieved the loss of a loved one? Frustration, or a sense of powerlessness at work are common forms of emotional stress.
- Chemical Stress - Today’s environment constantly assaults us with chemicals. Drugs, preservatives, tobacco, alcohol, pollen and a host of other substances can affect our nervous system and muscle tone.
Your body reacts to stress in a number of ways, none of which are good for you. While you cannot always alleviate mental and chemical stress, physical stress can be avoided. Additionally, chiropractic care may help you better accommodate and adapt to stress. your body reacts by “tripping a circuit breaker” and causing subluxation, chiropractic care may help.

What Our Patients Say
What to Expect
Relief Chiropractic Care
When patients come to us in pain, our top priority is to help relieve that pain so they can find comfort and feel better. While some patients feel relief in as little as one visit, it can take 2-3 visits per week for 4-12 weeks to achieve lasting real pain relief.
Corrective/Restorative Chiropractic Care
Muscles and tissues heal more completely during the corrective care phase, which prevents and reduces the risk of further injury. This phase typically requires 4-8 visits per month for 6-24 months depending on the severity of the issue.
Wellness Chiropractic Care
Once your body has completely healed, periodic adjustments become an important part of your healthcare regimen to avoid problems in the future. Based on your lifestyle and goals, we hope to see you 1-4 times per month.
