Chiropractic is a Natural Relief for Stress and Anxiety

Many Minnesotans deal with stress and anxiety every day. But, when you add on dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, those anxiety levels can reach an all time high. Chiropractic care is here to help you manage your anxiety in a natural way. 

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says “Learning to cope with stress in a healthy way will make you, the people you care about, and those around you become more resilient.” And, they note a key way is to continue to take care of your body. 

As we’ve discussed previously, key ways to take care of your body include:

  • Drink more water

  • Get plenty of sleep

  • Exercise regularly

  • Stretch and take mindful deep breaths

  • Continue to get regular check ups and key your body in top condition with chiropractic care. 

In other words, be mindful of your body and do what you can to keep it the best shape you can. The mind and the body are connected, and you will help to relieve stress. 

Stress and Your Body

Stress is commonplace in our society, and with the added issues of the pandemic, more folks are feeling the impact. Stress can cause many physical issues including:

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Stomach pain

  • Neck and back pain

  • TMJ 

Stress can manifest in many different ways. The key is to find ways to address the issues naturally, so you can get back to healthy living.

Tension Relief

Tension in your body causes stress and can lead to increased anxiety. Have you thought about how much tension you care around from day to day? And, what kind of affect is it having on your mental health? 

A visit to your chiropractor relieves tension. And, with continued visits, you will see significant improvement. When your spine is aligned, you will see optimal alignment and performance. 

If you were wondering how chiropractic helps to relieve your stress?  U.S. News and World Report outlines these results:

  • Chiropractors can release muscle tension, one effect of chronic stress that leads to nerve irritation and creates uneven pressures on the body's bony structures, which can cause the spinal column to become misaligned. This, in turn, helps the body return to a more balanced, relaxed state.

  • Chiropractic adjustments can reduce spinal nerve irritation and improve blood circulation, which can help signal the brain to turn off the "fight or flight" response and begin the healing process.

  • A doctor of chiropractic can suggest nutritional supplements, like B complex vitamins, to help the body cope with stress.

  • A chiropractor can also recommend relaxation techniques and discuss posture and environmental changes to help you recover from chronic stress.
