Stress and Chiropractic Care

Here at Robinson Family Chiropractic we provide chiropractic treatment for many types of injuries, trauma, and health conditions. One of these conditions includes an everyday occurrence that can silently wreak chaos on your body: STRESS! There are two main types of stress: acute and chronic.

Acute stress is the most common and typically a "fight or flight" response to a situtation. In the best sense it can be a thrilling ride on a roller coaster or down a ski hill. Most often, however, it is associated with everyday situations such as stress over a job deadline or test, or forgetting to lock the back door or do the laundry. When acute stress becomes consistent, perhaps on a daily basis, it is known as episodic acute stress.

 

Chronic stress results from more severe situations: loss of a job, unhappy family life, financial worries. Chronis stress may also be a result of lingering post traumatic stress, constant anxiety or being  "a worrier".

 

Regardless of stress levels, there are many negative effects on the body, which Dr. Richard Robinson and Dr. Nicholas Cone focus on correcting. These include:

• Depression
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Hair loss
• Headaches and migraines
• Insomnia

We offer various types of chiropractic treatments to help treat stress. A common treatment offered for stress is with adjustments, which includes proper alignment of the spine for better overall health. Chiropractic massage and therapeutic exercise are also offered here at Robinson Family Chiropractic, and can do wonders to relieve stress. Patients benefit by getting chiropractic care for stress as it provides overall health to help with other issues, not just the stress they are dealing with.
