Chiropractic and Massage for Stress Management

As we have discussed many times on this blog, chiropractic care seeks to restore the optimal function of the nervous system. Just some of the many positive results of this are decreased pain and discomfort, increased range of motion, and more flexibility. These are just some of the musculoskeletal benefits! In addition, your body will be able to function at its peak ability, which will result in a clearer mental state, positive outlook, and the ability to DEAL WITH STRESS. When your nervous system is functioning at 100%, the body does not have to work as hard to maintain itself, which gives the brain more freedom and ability to cope with external forces that create stress. 

Chiropractic Combined with Deep Tissue

Deep tissue massage is a modality utilized in many chiropractic offices. The idea is that by combining chiropractic adjustments and massage, we are restoring the function of the nervous system AND stretching, relaxing, and loosening muscles, which increases movement and decreases pain. These massage benefits just discussed relieves tension throughout the body. So now, after this combined treatment, our nervous systems are firing at a high level, and there is decreased tension throughout the body. Now your body and mind are in a unique position to combat the everyday stresses that affect us all. We are decreasing both mental and physical stress. By freeing the brain, spinal cord, and nerves (the nervous system) to work their best, along with reducing overall muscle tension, we are preparing our bodies for fighting any kind of stress thrown our way.

Also, both chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy release endorphins, which are mood elevators. A positive mental state, along with a properly functioning nervous and musculoskeletal system, sound like the perfect recipe for living in these crazy, stressful times.
