We all live with varying degrees of stress. Working, raising children, arguments with friends and family, dealing with setbacks or losses, as well as the hectic pace of life in our society: external sources of stress surround us. While some types of stress are natural and can be beneficial (for example, the increased focus and mental alertness a tight deadline provides), very high levels or prolonged periods of chronic stress can have severe adverse effects on one’s health.

The brain's reaction to stress sets off a chain of events that has a profound effect on the body. Adrenaline is released, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, as well as raising blood glucose levels. The body releases hydrocortisone, which suppresses the immune system. The physical sickness and difficulty healing that people suffering through sustained periods of stress often experience is no coincidence.

What does any of this have to do with chiropractic? Chiropractic, while not a treatment for stress per se, can be a valuable tool for repairing some of the damage stress causes to the body, as well as alleviating stress itself.

A chiropractor's techniques can "re-set" your body to a healthy state, restoring your spine, posture, muscles and central nervous system to their proper function. Used in conjunction with medical care, as well as alternative healing practices such as meditation, acupuncture, auriculotherapy (a procedure similar to acupuncture which treats reflex points of the ear) and others, chiropractic can play a key role in helping you achieve relief from stress and its associated maladies. Many patients of chiropractors clearly understand the connection between chiropractic and stress relief and look forward to their next visit for this very reason.
