How Chiropractic Care Can Help the Whole Family Manage Stress

Your family has a lot to manage: conflicting schedules, transportation, schooling, work stress, and endless to-do lists. And stress is not just a problem that adults struggle with. Children can feel stressed as schooling, after-school activities, and sports demand more time and effort. 

When an entire family is stressed out, it can cause strained feelings, depression, and frustration. If this scenario feels a little too familiar, it’s time to consider alternative stress-management options, and chiropractic care is an excellent holistic approach to try. With help from an expert chiropractor, your whole family can benefit from a well-functioning nervous system, which helps reduce symptoms of stress. 

Chiropractic care extends beyond managing pain caused by poor postures, excessive sitting, and other modern issues. Restore Chiropractic, a whole-family chiropractor in Maple Grove, Minnesota, offers chiropractic care designed to alleviate pain and address nervous system issues. 

Let’s take a closer look at how we can help address this significant issue that affects many American families. 

Stress, Your Body, & Your Nervous System

There are two primary ways your body accumulates stress: psychological stressors (such as deadlines, arguments, and a lack of relaxation time) and physical stressors (including poor posture, inadequate sleep, and injury). 

Both of these can have negative effects on the body, such as triggering a “fight or flight” response and causing headaches, neck pain, back stiffness, digestive issues, fatigue, and disturbed sleep. 

How does this problem connect to your nervous system and chiropractic care?

Your spine protects your central nervous system, which sends signals to your body for various functions. When you have a subluxation – a misaligned vertebrae – it can interfere with your nervous system’s ability to send signals throughout your body. 

When your body is under stress, your physiology becomes imbalanced. To promote proper healing, you need to restore balance to your central nervous system. 

Chiropractic care helps by realigning the spine, which reduces inflammation and allows the nervous system to send signals throughout the body without interference. Restore Chiropractic can help your entire family by developing a care plan for each individual. 

How Chiropractic Care Alleviates Stress

Let’s take a closer look at how chiropractic care helps your entire family reduce stress and pain:

• Optimizing nervous system function by restoring proper spinal alignment.

• Reduces the sympathetic nervous system overdrive that your body can experience during prolonged periods of stress.

• Releases muscle tension, thereby reducing consistent pain.

• Addressing the root of headaches, migraines, neck pain, and back pain that can be triggered or worsened by stress.

• Improves sleep quality by reducing physical discomfort and calming the nervous system.

• Better sleep quality helps reduce irritability and improves coping mechanisms for stress.

• Enhances mental wellness by allowing the body to function properly.
