How An Aspen Chiropractic Office Is Helping Those With Emotional Stress

By Derick Scartel


Chiropractic wellness care is a preventative measure against spine and nerve disorders. The focus in the healthy individual is to maintain that excellent state of health. The busy adult may allow emotional stress to tighten the muscles and allow anxiety to set in. An Aspen CO Wellness Chiropractor has care methods that can improve this condition.

Some stress has environmental causes. These include worry over time, performance and excessive noise. Bodily stress includes expected sources such as disease and accidental injury. Poor nutritional habits and insomnia are also physical sources.

The source that is more difficult to understand is emotional stress. It includes the reactions, such as thoughts and emotional outbursts, people have to outside stressors. The way to deal with this may be hard. Yoga, meditation and breathing exercises may work successfully.

As a result of an autonomic response to stress and fear, the hormones produced by the adrenal glands build up. It can harm the body when there is no outlet. There was an earlier time when the fight or flight response was a lifesaving response. However, seldom in modern times does someone have to run to escape a wild animal that wants to eat them.

The muscles tense up and contract in response to chronic stress. Pressure is exerted against the skeletal system. The vertebrae that make up the spine can become subluxated. This is the term used by chiropractors to define a misalignment. The solution is a series of manual adjustments to return the vertebrae back to the correct position.

This is one reason why wellness care is important. If a subluxation goes undetected, further damage can occur. One example is a herniated disc that can result from pressure caused by the misaligned vertebra. A routine check-up would detect the subluxation.

No care can be offered until an assessment is completed. Range of motions tests and measurements of strength are done. The spine is palpated. A record is kept of the findings. A medical record is started. After the evaluation is completed, the client begins a series of spinal adjustments to readjust the vertebrae.
