Chiropractic Care for Stress and Anxiety Relief

April is Stress Awareness Month, so it’s the perfect time to learn more about chiropractic care and stress management. Yes, you read that right! Most people assume chiropractic care can only help with back pain, but it can benefit your physical, mental, and emotional health. Here’s how chiropractic can help you find natural anxiety and stress relief.

Muscle Tension Relief

Have you ever noticed when you are stressed out that you tend to clench your teeth or tighten your shoulders? If left unchecked, anxiety and tension can build up over time in the joints and muscles, which leads to pain. This pain makes it challenging to carry out day-to-day tasks, including walking. Our chiropractors will help loosen and ease that tension and restore the body’s natural balance through chiropractic adjustments and treatments.

Nutrition Counseling

You probably already know how important nutrition is to your physical health, but did you know it can help you manage stress? Poor eating habits can cause a variety of issues — blood sugar imbalances can lead to mood swings, poor concentration, and fatigue while too much caffeine can disturb your sleep and increase levels of stress hormones like cortisol. Eating the right foods that your body needs lowers this hormone to help you manage stressors in life. At Markson Chiropractic, we offer exercise and nutritional counseling to help find out what your body is lacking.

Chiropractic Adjustments 

Chiropractic adjustments aren’t just for back and neck pain relief. Spinal misalignments can be to blame for a variety of health issues including digestive problems, headaches, and anxiety. Regular chiropractic care can help improve sleep, reduce swelling around the joints, improve nerve function, and reduce anxiety. These adjustments focus on the spine, which is the root of the nervous system. Adjustments also ease muscle tension so you feel more relaxed and ready to deal with stress. It also helps the body move more freely and increased blood flow while reducing irritation and inflammation so you feel your best.
