Stress
Instead of fainting or going unconscious, think of all the compensations your body goes through in an attempt to survive the stress of the moment, as well as those from the past.
Not all stress is bad. A 20-minute workout at the gym for a fit 25-year old is good stress. The same workout for your 75-year old grandmother would likely be bad stress!
Physical Stress
Repetitive motions (painting the ceiling), postural distortions (falling asleep with your neck twisted) and whiplash injuries from a car accident are physical stresses. So are slips and falls. Even being born!
Mental Stress
Ever faced an impossible deadline at work? Or grieved the loss of a loved one? Notice the posture of someone who is depressed. Frustration, or a sense of powerlessness at work are common forms of emotional stress.
Chemical Stress
Today’s environment constantly assaults us with chemicals. Drugs, preservatives, tobacco, alcohol, vaccinations, pollen and a host of other substances can affect our nervous system and muscle tone.
Whenever your body reacts by “tripping a circuit breaker” and responding to interference in the nervous system, conservative chiropractic care can help.
“Stress can never be totally eliminated,” says Your Wellness Partners. “But regular chiropractic care can help you minimize any harmful effect from the stress you encounter day to day and allow your body to remain in a healing mode rather than a constant emergency mode. That way you can maximize your wellness potential. Give us a call.”
