Got Chronic Stress? We Can Help.

Stress, when it’s acute, can be a fantastic tool for survival. Imagine a ferocious lion giving you chase. Your heart pumps faster and your focus is razor-sharp – that’s acute stress in action, working to get you out of harm’s way.

But let’s face it—today, you’re more likely to be chased by a work deadline than a wild beast! And yet, your body reacts just the same – fight or flight, real or imagined. Modern-day stressors can push your body into stress overdrive.

And get this – chronic stress and chronic pain are really two sides of the same coin. A constant cocktail of stress hormones can trigger a cascade of symptoms that might resemble, or even intensify, chronic pain conditions.

Make no mistake, chronic stress isn’t just a mental bogeyman. Headaches, sleep issues, digestive problems – that’s chronic stress doing a number on you! So, keep an eye on your stress levels this month. If you start to feel them rising, give us a call and schedule a tension-relieving, soothing adjustment.
