That’s excellent news, especially with everything we’re dealing with these days – 2020 has been an unprecedented year, and many people are feeling the stress of it all. 

Fortunately, your McKinney chiropractor can create a stress-reduction treatment plan that will calm your mind, body, and spirit. 

Chronic Stress and Chronic Pain – How They’re Intertwined 

If you experience chronic pain, you’re going to experience stress. When you’re in pain, chemicals, and hormones flood the body, which causes inflammation, high blood pressure, and sleep issues. All that is very stressful to your body, and the body responds to stress similarly to how it responds to an injury. 

The result is a vicious cycle of pain and stress. Finding ways to reduce stress is vital to pain reduction, as well as better overall health. Getting regular chiropractic care in McKinney can ease your pain significantly, thereby reducing the body’s stress response.  

Chiropractic Care to Help You Reduce Stress 

What if your stress isn’t related to pain? Your McKinney chiropractor can still help. 

Your stress reduction treatment plan may contain one or more of the following modalities of chiropractic care. 

Soft Tissue Therapy 

In a recent study, Emergency Medical Services staff received regular soft tissue therapy. They reported that the treatment reduced their stress in the moment and helped them later when they were working. 

When you get a myofiascial release, your therapist will help loosen tight muscles, promoting flexibility, as well as blood and lymph flow. With regular treatment, the peace of mind you experience during the treatment will carry over into your everyday life. 

Spinal Adjustments

Spinal adjustments are an integral part of chiropractic care. Not only do they help reduce pain (like stress-related tension headaches), but they can also help reduce stress, anxiety, and even depression, all of which are closely linked
