The correlation between stress and physical health problems is widely documented, and people want relief from their anxiety and pain more than ever before. One option to seriously consider is chiropractic treatment. New Yorkers seeking Pooler chiropractic care for their stress and anxiety can turn to Dr. Richard A. Huntoon of Advanced Alternative Medicine Center for assistance.
Chiropractic care is one of the safest and most effective ways to alleviate stress and the health problems it causes. Stress can increase the risk of stroke and heart attack, cause anxiety and panic attacks, and result in chronic pain in the muscles and joints of the body. Research has shown that chiropractic therapy, along with a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, can significantly improve a person’s health and wellbeing, and also increase their lifespan.
How Chiropractic Care Alleviates Stress
Our minds and bodies are intrinsically linked, and this can create a never-ending loop of stress and pain. Someone in the midst of a panic attack, for example, will experience a pounding heart, which can make them more anxious, which makes their heart beat even faster. With time, they may think that their frequent pounding heart is the sign of an impending heart attack, which will then cause more anxiety, and so on. That’s why it is so important to treat the emotional, mental, and physical symptoms. So how does a Pooler chiropractor help with that?
Chiropractic treatment for the physical pain can stop that feedback loop and relieve anxiety at the same time. If a patient experiences pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, and tightness in the chest, they will likely assume it’s an anxiety attack or heart attack. The problem could be entirely due to a spinal problem, though, as a misaligned spine puts excessive pressure on the muscles, nerves, vertebrae, and blood vessels in the back and neck. The patient doesn’t realize this, though, and develops an actual anxiety attack because of the perceived circumstances.
A chiropractic adjustment can relieve all of these physical symptoms, thus eliminating the actual panic attack and the pain that comes with it. Lessening the pressure on the spinal cord can also help to prevent tension headaches and feelings of lightheadedness. Most people also tense their muscles and grit their teeth when stressed, which results in muscle and joint pain. It is interesting to note that many anti-anxiety medications, such as Xanax and Ativan, relax these same muscles. Some doctors believe that a portion of the relief they provide is actually from decreased pressure on the spinal cord, and a forced relaxation of tense muscles.
Benefits of Chiropractic Therapies
Chiropractic care can help people fight stress and anxiety, and also help them enhance their muscle movements and bodily reflexes. Chiropractic therapies can also help treat various kidney, lung and liver diseases, and improve overall mental and physical fitness.
