Stress Relief

Find tranquility in a hectic world.

OK, maybe you’re thinking, stress management? Sounds like some kind of psychological mumbo-jumbo. But know this: chronic stress is the number one cause, by far, of declines to your physical health.

Elevated stress levels can cause all sorts of dangerous physical ailments, including cardiovascular diseases, heightened allergic reactions, a weakened immune system, and thyroid failure. In fact, chronic stress is scientifically proven as a hidden killer.

Our integrated health care approach includes a customized strategy for managing ongoing stresses.  Honing your skills for dealing with the inevitable stress of modern life could eliminate many symptoms you experience, and enable you to avoid problems in the first place.

How we help.

We find out during your first session about any major stress events you’ve experienced, and evaluate the stresses that may exist in your daily environment.  Your doctor or therapist will identify how you store stress in your body and work to actively release it.

All of our staff members bring a unique approach to symptoms of stress.  Our doctors of chiropractic will find the areas in your body that have adapted to stress, and apply modern treatments that enhance nervous function, flexibility and mental resilience.  Our unique chiropractic method is able to release accumulated tension around joints, muscles, fascia, nerves, vessels, organs, the brain, and the digestive tract.

Our massage therapists will smooth out knotted muscles and tight fascia, further increasing blood and energy flow in the body.  Our exercise therapists will work with you to increase postural awareness, strength and flexibility, as well as empower you with skills to actively release physical tension on your own.

Know the impact of stress on your body and mind.

All of us store the effects of chronic stress not only within the musculoskeletal system, but also within the fascia and connective tissue around the brain, organs, endocrine glands, and arteries, veins and lymphatic system.  The fallout from chronic stress includes:

• Diminished regenerative capacity and ability to relax
• Reactivity of the immune system causing inflammation and heightened allergic responses
• Reduced capacity to digest and absorb nutrients
• Overstimulation of the hormonal and limbic system, creating fragile emotions, anxiety and depression
• Hypersensitivity of the nervous system, contributing to insomnia, irritability, or anger
• Decreased energy and circulation, causing poor sensation in some areas and/or focal points of pain

Given these dangers, we believe it’s critical to assess your ongoing stress and if needed we provide sensible relaxation strategies as part of your care plan.
