Mom stress gets a lot of the spotlight, and while it is for good reason – we know that you dads…or even you dudes without kiddos can really be on the struggle bus when it comes to stress!
We also know that you like people to just give it to you straight, so that’s what we are going to do!
Does chiropractic help pain of all kinds? Of course! We see patients in our office with neck, back, arm, leg, shoulder, jaw, and hip pain that see great success through chiropractic adjustments!
BUT, there is way more to chiropractic than getting rid of the pain.
Chiropractic is a tool that we can actually use to reconnect all of our body systems!
Your brain is in charge of the communication that happens within your body. It keeps everything orchestrated so that you don’t have to give a single thought to breathing, digesting food, heart beating, hormones releasing, and so on! All of that communication goes from the brain to the rest of the nervous system.
Sometimes that communication gets blocked! Let’s think of your nervous system like a water hose. When you’re out watering the yard, and there’s a kink in the hose, what happens? No water comes out! It’s the same story with your nervous system. Those “kinks” block the communication that should be flowing through the nerves!
These “kinks” can happen from lots of things like:
- Falls, car accidents, sports injuries, repetitive motions
- Flood of toxins from food, water, air, other environmental elements
- Everyday stressors over work, money, relationships
When this communication isn’t happening correctly, STRESS happens. Yes, that can mean that you FEEL stressed, overwhelmed, or overly anxious. But this stress can also pop up in other forms:
- Digestive issues
- Brain fog
- Fatigue/lower energy
- Respiratory challenges
- Hormonal imbalances
- Sinus issues
- And just about anything else you can think of!
Chiropractic is a tool that helps straighten out these “kinks” through chiropractic adjustments to your spine. When your spine is properly aligned, then your nerves send and receive messages clearly, so less stress happens in the body.
