Stress Awareness Month

On a typical day, Americans will encounter an untold number of stressors. Things that happen in the course of a daily routine can take a toll on the body, making it harder for the nervous system to distinguish between emotional and physical threats as stressors pile up.

When your body is living in a heightened state of stress, it can lead to a wide range of problems. One of them is muscle tension, which can change your posture and the way you hold yourself walking and sitting. Eventually, the pain leads to less sleep and you lose the ability to focus on things that matter.

April is Stress Awareness Month and here at The Spine Clinic in Salem, we offer relief with chiropractic care for all the symptoms of stress: headaches, migraines, muscle tension, back and neck aches, and other stress-related symptoms.
 

How a Chiropractor Can Help Relieve Stress

Chiropractic care can turn out to be one of the magic elixirs of stress relief. That's because your spine is literally the hub of your neurological system. As stress causes your body to tense up, this has a big impact on the spine. Visiting our Salem chiropractor for an adjustment can help restore function to your body and stop the stress hormones that rush into your bloodstream. With just a few trips to The Spine Clinic, you'll not only start to feel better, but you're also likely to see a decrease in your heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels, and more.
 

We Offer Physiotherapy for Stress Relief

Not only does chiropractic techniques help relieve your stress symptoms, but also physiotherapy can do the same. Physiotherapy helps our Salem chiropractor identify the source of your pain, which can be completely different than the 'site' of the pain.  Some of our more common physiotherapy techniques include the use of ultrasound to stimulate soft tissues, along with Galvanic muscle stimulation to help reduce pain.

We also offer massage, which can be both mentally and physically healing to patients. It promotes relaxation, which helps blood flow and can loosen tense or damaged muscles.
