Todays world is becoming increasingly more complex and demands on our time, attention, and health are numerous. The revolution of increased productivity has brought many great things but has also changed the environment we live in. City streets are full of cars, noise, and pollution. These are considered stressors to the human body and in the last 50 years all have dramatically increased. With the invention of the internet we have vast amounts of information at our finger tips. Along with this we have ways of communicating with more and more people than ever before. We are more aware of peoples troubles and tragedies, whether thats a good or bad thing I will let you decide. However, taken all this together we are bombarding our senses, which will create stress and anxiety that we may have not had in the past. We a challenged to reduce stress, so finding ways to minimize it are crucial for us to become healthy.

The term stress was first applied in the field of engineering, in reference to physical forces upon mechanical structures. Stress was first used in the medical field in the 20th century by Walter Cannon, a Harvard physiologist. Cannon described the fight or flight syndrome and noted the damaging physical effects of a continuous stressor. Today we understand the impacts of stress and recognize that many illnesses are caused by stress or worsened by stress. In many chiropractic offices you will see brochures or posters of x-rays that show how continuous stress on the spine leads to arthritis and degeneration. While chiropractic can treat the effects of stress on the body, such as headaches or back pain, it can also help manage and process stress in a healthy way. The biggest benefit of chiropractic treatment once a patients pain is remedied is the fact that continued care will promote the management of all the stress people come in contact with day in and day out.

Chirpractors work primarily with the spine, as the nervous system is housed with in and transmits impulses to the brain and the rest of the entire body. If one is under stress from work for example, the brain will stimulate the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). With this the heart rate increases, blood pressure increases, blood is directed away from digestion and extremities. Your vision becomes more focused and hearing is more acute. Your adrenal glands then secrete corticoids, including adrenaline, epinephrine, norepinephrine and coritsol. This is all useful at first, but when we cant calm done because of all the stress we deal with, it can be damaging to your health. You know how you body feels when your upset and feel stressed. This leads to prolonged muscle tension, decreasing circulation to your muscles, uneven pressures to your spine that can create misalignments and so on. With chiropractic we can create alignment in your spine, decreasing muscle tension, increasing circulation, allow nerve impulses to communicate with the rest of your body. This all promotes a body that can freely adapt to its surroundings and minimize the harmful effects the stress can have on the body.
