Stressed Out? Why Chiropractic Care Can Help


 

Stress Can Create Tightness in Our Upper Back 

Often times when we are stressed and tense we will feel tightness in our necks and upper backs.  This can also in some individuals cause tingling in their hands, often the pinkie specifically, and that side of their hand.  In the middle to lower aspects of our necks are the nerves that control our arms, the Brachial Plexus.  This network of nerves branches supplies our shoulders, arms, hands and fingers.

 Muscle Tightness Associated with Stress Often Leads to A Misaligned Vertebrae

With all the muscle tightness we associated with stress there is often vertebrae that become misaligned, and with all of this dysfunction increased pressure can be put on the Bronchial Plexus, specifically the Ulnar Nerve, and the one on the bottom of the plexus.  Pressure here results in that tingling sensation in our pinkies and sometimes the ring finger as well.

Chiropractic Care Can Help to Relieve Muscle Stress 

Chiropractic can help relieve these complaints.  We located the misalignment in the spine, and by adjusting/manipulating them, Chiropractors can help take the pressure off of these nerves and restore normal function.

  1. Chiropractic as natural stress reliever is one of the many good benefits of chiropractic that people must know. Chiropractic helps in aligning and adjusting our spinal column and relaxing tension muscles, which can restore normal nerve functions and make our body to stay to its normal ability. It’s help our whole body and mind to become more organized. With chiropractic treatment, your mind will always feel stress-free, which is good to keep you focused on whatever things you need to do.

  2. Stress is one of the most common problems of many people. And chronic stress, if ignored, can lead to severe health problems like insomnia, anxiety, depression, muscle tension, and eating disorders. It’s a good thing there is chiropractic care to help you eliminate stress. It is one of the best and fastest ways for you to get back to your normal self. It’ll not only eliminate stress, but it can also improve your overall health.

  3. After reading this article, I can really say that I’ve gone through a lot of stressful times in my life. I usually feel tightness in my neck and in my back, and yeah, even in my fingers. I’ve been trying a lot of massage therapies to relieve the stress, and so far, I’m getting good results. I think I can also try chiropractic treatment since I want to have a healthier lifestyle. But I don’t want this just for me, but also for my kids and my husband, who always worries for me whenever I feel a lot of pain in my body.
