Stress can cause problems for you physically and
emotionally. The effects of stress can cause headaches, muscle aches and pain
and stiffness in your body.
There are typically three different causes of stress. The
first cause is Environmental – This is what’s around you and things that you
usually have no control over. You may live in an area that has high levels of
pollution or high crime rates. Secondly, Physical factors may affect you such
as injuries that you have incurred as a result of an accident, or it may be
caused by what you are eating or from a lack of sleep. Sometimes, one of these
may cause the other to happen such as an injury causing a lack of sleep due to
being uncomfortable. Thirdly, Emotional factors such as worrying about our
personal life, finances or fears of the unknown may cause stress leading to the
undesirable effects of stress.
Due to the stress incurred by either from environmental,
physical or emotional factors, our body may suffer from headaches, neck pain,
and muscle aches and stiffness to name a few. High blood pressure, increased
risk of heart issues and damage to your body’s tissues may also result from
your body being overstressed.
In addition to doing things for yourselves to relieve stress
such as exercise, stretching, yoga and deep breathing exercises, chiropractic
can also help you to alleviate muscle tension and headaches. Getting adjusted
positively affects your nervous system which helps ease muscle tension which
then reduces the stressors in your body so you can relax and get more rest
allowing the body to get relief from the stress around you.
