Overcoming Stress with Regular Chiropractic Care

The events of the past several years have resulted in record numbers of Americans being under more stress than they have ever felt before. Between working irregular hours, abnormal family situations, and economic pressures, it's not surprising at all that many people just don't know how to cope. Let's be honest, for most of us, the standard advice to take a bubble bath or bake some cookies just isn't cutting it. We at Athena Chiropractic in Wilmington, DE, know a lot about beating stress with chiropractic care.

How Chiropractic Care Helps with Stress

All this stress is affecting the way our muscles behave. High levels of stress hormones can cause muscles all over your body to contract or become tighter. As this happens, the contracted muscles put a lot of strain on your nerves, causing them to send pain signals to your brain.

Fortunately, chiropractic care may help. Through a series of manual chiropractic adjustments, our chiropractor can help force these muscles to release their tension and return to their normal healthy positions. This may allow them to not only release hormones that help to control and manage stress, but also alleviates the pressure that the clenched muscles were placing on the nerves.

It is important to realize that while many patients report that they feel a reduction in stress and their pain levels at the end of a chiropractic session, it is possible for the pain to come back. This is because as your body continues to undergo stress, the muscles may continue to contract and move back to their unhealthy locations. For this reason, it is often recommended that a person make regular chiropractic appointments.
