STRESS!
High Pressure Living!!
High Pressure Living takes its toll on all of us with its stress, strain and
uncertainties. Studies show that in the United States today the public spends
hundred of millions of dollars on tranquilizers, barbiturates, anti-depressants
and alcohol in a vain attempt to relieve stress.
Under stress the human spinal muscles contract very muscles contract very
much like we see in animals such as the cat and dog. With repeated and prolonged
stress these contracted spinal muscles can cause the spine to twist and/or curve
until nerves are pinched or irritated producing symptoms of nervousness and
stress! Which comes first, the chicken or the egg....physical or
emotional stress?
Stress can overload the body's nervous system similar to an overloaded electrical
system where circuits are blown and normal function is hampered. Just as it
is necessary to reset the electrical circuits, it is also necessary to reset
the human nervous system with spinal adjustments.
In nearly every disease affecting the human body, there is a primary cause
within the nervous system. In many cases a feeling of nervousness is the only
way the body has of letting you know there is something wrong within the system.
This feeling of nervousness is much the same as the symptoms of a headache.
It is not uncommon to find the person who is stressed out also complaining
of recurrent headaches. Nervousness is a warning signal and should be heeded
in the same sense you would heed the warning of repeated headaches.
The treatment of symptoms by drugging the body for "temporary relief"
is NOT the answer! Learning to cope with emotional problems and avoiding as
much as possible those situations that tend to produce stress is preferred.
Along with coping, regular exercise and a balanced diet also helps.
Once the body's electrical circuits have been blown, the most effective treatment,
in addition to the above, are gentle spinal adjustments by you chiropractor.
Spinal adjustments help to provide lasting relief of stress symptoms for nervousness,
anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia and headaches. All this with none
of the risks involved with drugs.
Eliminate stress and recapture that happy, healthy and relaxed self with a
chiropractic tune-up today.
