Stress is a common part of our lives. Today’s world is full
of multi-tasking and having multiple irons in the fire. I often wish I had a
clone to help me be in all the places at one time that I need to be. That’s a
common thought for many people. This season is stressful for many reasons.
Taxes are a big one right now. Everyone is worried about the deadlines and
paying more money and audits and gathering information from the past year. It
can be overwhelming. Sometimes life can be overwhelming. Everyone has stress.
There are good stressors and bad stressors.
The definition of stress is the body's reaction to a change
that requires a physical, mental or emotional adjustment or response. Sometimes
this motivates us to be productive. Sometimes this causes us to retreat and
procrastinate if we feel like the work load is impossible to be accomplished. I
suppose it’s all on perception. It can discourage or motivate us. The body has
other factors of stress on it. Sometimes the stress is seen as high blood
pressure or elevated liver enzymes. Sometimes it is seen as headaches or
constipation. Stress and emotions can have various effects on the body and they
differ person to person. Everyone handles stress differently. Some people
exercise to burn off excess tension. Some people eat. We all have our method of
coping.
I see stressed people every day. Everyone I see acknowledges
that there are stressors occurring in their body that they don’t want to carry
around. Usually the stress that I see is the stress we as humans have on the
spine. Chiropractic care helps the body not fold under stress. It helps our
posture be a supportive one for our muscles and our organs. Chiropractic not only works on posture and
sore muscles, but it actually helps alleviate pressure put on nerves as they
exit the spinal cord and go to virtually every cell in the body. This stress
can be physical, emotional, or chemical.
The chiropractic adjustment helps the body’s internal
workings of regulation and organization work at its very best. If there is an
excess of toxins in the body from a poor diet or a diet full of artificial
sweeteners or too many medications, the adjustment ensures that proper nerve
flow is getting to the liver which is the body’s detox organ so it can clean
out as much trash as possible and help the body work as well as possible. If the stress is physical from working at a
desk all day with your head turned in one direction looking at a computer
screen and typing on a key board in the opposite position, the adjustment
specifically works on the misalignments in the spine that are putting pressure
on the nerves and spinal cord. If the stress is emotional in nature, the
adjustment helps make sure that the messages from one part of the brain are
getting clearly sent to the other parts and out to the rest of the body.
Muddled thinking or disruptive trains of thought can easily be caused by
blocked messages.
My goal is to help people live the most productive and
enjoyable lifestyle as possible. There are various coping mechanisms that are
helpful during stressful times. Having a person in your corner is something
everyone needs. That’s exactly what the chiropractor can be to you. A person
who helps you accomplishes your health goals, whatever they may be through
chiropractic adjustments and nutrition and healthy eating and living. If this
is something that you think sounds interesting to you, I would love to talk
with you more about what chiropractic care can offer you.
