Learn to Deal With Stress Naturally

We all experience stress, Right?

Stress can take form in three manners; emotional, physical and chemical. Let’s take a look closer at each of these.

Emotional Stress can consist of fear, regret, anger and is usually associated with a negative feeling. BUT it can also take form when we are having positive experiences too like anticipation of the new baby coming, worry about the new job, or pre-occupation with the wedding. Those are all good times, but can cause stress in our systems.

Physical Stress can occur from a physical trauma like a fall, an auto accident, or surgery. BUT this stress also can come from positive experiences like child birth, hang gliding, or sex. Again, these are positive experiences that can put tension in our systems.

Chemical Stress is all around us; pharmaceuticals, alcoholic beverages, and the pollution in our air. BUT what about the adrenaline rush, or the chemicals and additives found in the food that nourishes us?

The bottom line is that if you live and breathe you are exposed to stress daily and that stress has to go somewhere. Our brain perceives and processes the stress sending it down the spinal cord. If we overload our system with stress the spinal cord will respond by twisting (like wringing out a wet towel), a twarking (bend), or by becoming ridged; all impeding the flow of communication from the brain to the rest of the body. This is not good.

When this occurs the muscles receive signals from the nervous system causing tension to be stored within them. This tense muscle pulls the vertebra causing a misalignment of the spine. This subluxation causes more disruption on the flow of communication to the rest of the body. When you have stored stress in your nervous system you are going to feel symptoms.

Most people think Chiropractic is the snapping, crunching and popping of these bones back into place. However, Network Chiropractic, an approach addressing the tension and stress in the nervous system by using gentle tapping along the spine allows the body to unwind this tension. This unwinding might bring about a breath, a stretch, or moan all in which are dissipating the stored stress allowing the body to regain its true level of health.

What about your kids, do they have stress? Absolutely! To name a few their stress can result from peer pressure, test anxiety, sport injuries, birth trauma, vaccines exposure, food sensitivities, ear infections, anti-biotics, and sensory sensitivities. All of which contribute to tension stored within their delicate nervous systems. My girls have received Gentle Chiropractic care since birth and have had their health enhanced exponentially.

I encourage you to entertain having a Chiropractor check your nervous system for stress.
