Stress and How Chiropractic May Help

female chiro adjusting womans neckStress is not merely a psychological state; it can also profoundly affect the body. When we experience stress, it often manifests as tension in specific areas, such as the head and neck or lower back. This tension can lead to headaches, neck pain, and other discomforts.

At Stott Chiropractic, we understand the intricate connection between tension and the body. Our goal is not to remove the cause of stress but rather to help you cope better by alleviating physical tension and promoting overall wellbeing. By addressing the underlying issues, we aim to prevent the development of physiological problems and reduce your overall tension levels.

The Role of Posture

One interesting aspect of stress is that our physical posture can influence it. Poor posture, characterised by a hunched position with rolled-forward shoulders and a curved upper back, has been directly linked to increased anxiety levels. This flexed forward position affects our mental state and hampers proper breathing, depriving the body of vital oxygen.

At our chiropractic clinic, we recognise the significance of posture in managing tension. Our chiropractors may help to improve all aspects of poor posture. We mobilise “stuck” joints through targeted interventions, release tense muscles and fascia, and establish improved motor control. Addressing postural imbalances may help alleviate emotional stress and promote a more relaxed state of being.

Our Approach: Holistic Care for Mind and Body

When you choose chiropractic care for stress management, you’re opting for a holistic approach that considers both the mind and body. Our comprehensive evaluations enable us to develop personalised care plans tailored to your specific needs.

We empower you to regain control over your wellbeing by addressing the physical manifestations of tension. Our chiropractic techniques enhance proper movement and neurological control, preventing the progression of any potential pathologies.
