What Is Chronic Stress?
Most of us will experience stress at some point or another. Not only is stress an emotional feeling, but it is also physical and carries with it very real physical effects. For instance, if your body is sensitive to stress, it will be on heightened alert 24 hours a day, almost as if waiting for the other foot to drop constantly.
Stress was designed to protect us in the past. However, stress now leads to anxiety and a buildup of cortisol and adrenaline, which can quickly lead to chronic stress related injuries. These can include:
Anxiety disorders
Insomnia
Muscle tension
Depression
Headaches & migraines
Fatigue
Lowered immune response
Chronic pain
How Can a Chiropractor Treat Chronic Stress-Related Injuries?
The first step in treatment these injuries is to find a “Chiropractor near me,” wherever you live. Your chiropractor will help determine if chronic stress is playing a role in your injuries and pain. If it is, your chiropractor will recommend lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress through breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation techniques.
Your chiropractor can also help provide headache treatment and other chiropractic care such as:
- Muscle massages to alleviate sore muscles, reduce inflammation, and break up hard knots and tissues that have formed as a result of stress
- Chiropractic adjustments, which can help alleviate pain due to a misaligned spine and take pressure off surrounding nerves, as well as for headache treatment
- Lifestyle advice to help you battle against stress
- Acupuncture to boost endorphins and help you relax
