Chiropractic for Wellness
Stress that can impact our spinal health and overall well-being can be categorised into three main areas of stress. Physical, Chemical and Emotional.
- Physical Stress : This is the most common form of stress that patients relate to. The physical stress that impacts our bodeis occur throughout our life. From learning how to walk, to sips and falls, and the more serious forms such as car accidents and sporting injuries. In todays digital age, sitting is the most common form of physical stress. Lack of movement to the spine has many health risks, some include tightening of muscles, compressing of joints and in severe cases loss of function of nerves.
- Chemical stress: Chemical stress is so often over looked as a stress that can impact your health. Chemical stress includes food colouring, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, alcohol , caffeine, cleaning products, just to mention a few. Other toxins include materials we use and the air we breathe. A build up of these toxins can impact the way your body heals, decreasing your bodies healing capacity.
- Emotional stress: Our bodies filter and process stress on a moment to moment basis. Thoughts and feelings associated with these factors can apply a great deal of stress on the mind and body. These anxieties can cause your body not to function at the optimum level. Emotional stress can cause your muscles to become tighter, joint compression and decreasing movement and flexibility of the spine.
Wellness chiropractic has always been and always will be about restoring health and wellness to the bodies. Wellness Chiropractic is a lifestyle that creates well-being, improves your quality of living by increasing movement of your spine. The benefits of maintaining regular adjustments are that minor misalignments can be detected before they become symptomatic or well-established. Our wellness visits are structured periodically depending on the individual needs. Its just another way of removing additional stresses and decreasing the impact they can have on your health.
