Why It’s Important to

Relieve Stress

Modern day stresses inundate many of our lives on a regular basis. This constant battle can affect our reproductive, immune, and digestive systems – which is why it is so important to relieve stress.

2+ billion people worldwide suffer from stress-related health challenges such as: IBS, colitis, fibromyalgia, migraines, depression, and anxiety. If you are constantly struggling with weight-gain, feeling sick, run-down, fatigued, or constipated this could be a result of stress overload on your body.

The good news: chiropractic care is more than a treatment for sore necks, it is a true health care solution. Chiropractic care is all about restoring ease; optimizing and maintaining your brain/body connection and helping relieve the stress held in your body. The better and quicker we can get your body to deal with, process and relieve stress, the less your internal mechanisms will work against you and the more you can experience what life has to offer. At Gravelle Family Chiropractic, we create a plan of care tailored to you with frequent visits that create momentum and change in your brain and body.

The Impact of Stress on the Body

When the spine moves properly the brain has the opportunity to dial down the stress response.

This creates a system that is better able to function, adapt, heal and regulate. When the brain is in stress, it loses the ability to perceive gravity. We lose our awareness to our internal and external state and the ability to adapt to our environment. A system in stress cannot dampen the noise coming at us from the outside world and cannot take on any new information.

You were born to be healthy, to live a vibrant and fun-filled life. Somewhere along the line, we got the idea that it’s “normal” to feel tired, miserable and stressed out all the time. The state of dis-ease is a physiologic byproduct of an unbalanced lifestyle. We can help you relieve stress, and start living your best, balanced life. Schedule an appointment today.
