Chiropractic Care for Stress Relief and Mental Well-Being

Everyday life can be stressful. Busy schedules, poor diet, and lack of exercise can all lead to you and your body not feeling healthy. When you don’t feel healthy, your mental health can suffer too. Chiropractic care can help.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Relieve Stress and Improve Mental Well-Being

Stress leads to tense muscles, acute or chronic pain, headaches, and other symptoms. Consider these popular chiropractic treatments and how they can help you:

• Manual adjustments, which realign your spine, relieving pressure on nerves and muscles and reducing pain
• Therapeutic massage, which uses hands-on massage of your head, neck, and back to help relax tense muscles and relieve strain in problem areas
• Facial massage, which uses hands-on massage of your face to help relieve sinus headaches, migraines, TMJ issues, and other head and facial stress
• Biofeedback training, which uses biofeedback devices like an electromyogram, or EMG, to monitor the level of tension in your muscles, so you can learn to relax tense areas
• Relaxation training, which uses techniques like deep breathing and meditation to help you cope with daily stresses and improve overall wellness
• Stretching exercises, which use gentle stretching to help your muscles be relaxed, so you can maintain proper posture and body alignment

Your chiropractor is also an expert on lifestyle modifications to help reduce stress and improve mental well-being. Your chiropractor might also discuss:

• Eating a healthy diet, including lean proteins, healthy fats, fiber, and nutrients
• Getting enough sleep, by not looking at your phone, TV, or a computer before bed
• Helping you relax, by building a relaxation ritual like reading, taking a warm bath, or meditation before bed
• Promoting work and life balance to reduce stress and improve mental well-being
