Stress is a fact of life, but it doesn’t have to rule your life. The chiropractic care professionals at Riverbend Chiropractic understand how stress adversely affects the body. We have numerous chiropractic therapy options that we use to help treat and alleviate the symptoms of stress. Our next series of articles will cover some of the ways chiropractic care can help.

Breathe Easier

Stress can cause an increased rate of breathing. This is not only unhealthy but can cause hyperventilation and even lead to panic attacks. Chiropractic care can help your body function better on many levels, including helping slow high rates of breathing.  Chiropractic massage, adjustments and dynamic cupping therapy are among some of the chiropractic treatments that can help maintain a healthy central nervous system.

Ease Tense Muscles

Stress causes muscles to become tense.  This affects the entire body and can result in pain, loss of focus, inability to sleep, and even adversely affect the way you walk. Chiropractic therapy is extremely effective in easing muscle tension.  Dynamic cupping therapy, chiropractic massage, and adjustments are among the chiropractic therapy treatments we use to help ease muscle tension.
