Holiday Stress Relief through Chiropractic Care

Adjust Your Stress Levels for a Happier Holiday

The holiday season is an exciting and joyous time of year, and yet it can also prove a highly stressful one. The crush of shopping, frenzied preparations, and intense interactions can cause all kinds of stress for many of us, and the results may include illness, irritability, and a multitude of aches and pains. Fortunately, chiropractic adjustment and other forms of natural treatment possess remarkable stress-busting powers.

Stress has numerous effects on the body. The "fight or flight" response triggered by the release of cortisol and adrenalin into the bloodstream not only raises blood pressure and blood sugar levels; it also reduces the immune response that protects you from virus, bacteria and even cancer. Muscles tighten and knot up, leaving you with headaches, backaches and neck pain. Your sleep may be disrupted, impairing the body's overnight repair processes. Tight muscles can aggravate spinal misalignments, which in turn make your nerves function less than optimally. All of these problems make holiday preparations more difficult and enjoyment impossible.

Chiropractic treatment can help normalize all of these stress-related dysfunctions. Our adjustment techniques can help your nervous system route its countless instructions to the body more efficiently and accurately, allowing your immune, digestive, sleep and other systems to operate correctly. Once a spinal misalignment has been straightened out, your entire musculoskeletal system may experience significant relief from aches and pains that have been amplifying your feelings of stress. We can also provide therapeutic massage and physical therapy to loosen the muscles, relieve painful knots, improve circulation, and induce a state of relaxation.
