rsz fatigueAre you stressed out?

Many people feel the same way, especially now that we’re dealing with a stressful election season, unrest throughout the country, and a global pandemic. 

Thankfully, chiropractic care in Allen is an ideal tool for stress reduction and management. 

Why Try Chiropractic Care for Stress Reduction?

When you’re stressed out, seeking chiropractic care may not be the first stress-reducing option that comes to mind. While meditation, exercise, and other stress reduction practices can significantly ease your anxiety, your Allen chiropractor can approach your stress from a different direction. Here are three ways they can help. 

1. Relax and Ease Your Mind – During and After Your Appointment

Massage therapy is an integral part of chiropractic care because it: 

  • Promotes flexibility
  • Eases muscle tension and strain
  • Promotes proper blood flow

All these help reduce physical stress. However, a recent study shows that massage therapy can help with emotional stress reduction, too. Emergency Medical Services staff were evaluated after receiving massage therapy and reported a reduction in stress not just during their massage, but even while at work. 

2. Reduce Your Risk of Injuries 

When you’re feeling stressed, your muscles tighten. Chronically tight muscles fatigue the body. You’ll feel exhausted all the time, which only adds to your anxiety. Tight muscles also strain the joints, ligaments, and tendons, putting you at greater risk of pain and injury

Chiropractic care can ease muscle tension by keeping the body in proper alignment and improving flexibility. 

3. Less Stress Keeps You Healthier 

Stress makes the body work harder. Your heart, lungs, immune system – they all work hard to help you through the fight or flight stress response. If left untreated, this can result in high blood pressure, heart attack, and digestive issues.  

Chiropractic adjustments, as well as lifestyle recommendations from your Allen chiropractor, can give your body a chance to recover and heal. 

Prevent Stress for Better Health with Chiropractic Care

It’s important to find ways to reduce stress once you experience it. This is just as important as finding ways to prevent stress in the first place.  

Of course, we can’t prevent stress completely, but you can take steps to prevent a good portion of it – and Drs. Matthew Schindlbeck and Tyler Winfield can help. 

By incorporating the fitness and nutritional recommendations of your Allen chiropractor, you can lower your stress levels and boost your overall health.
