Mums, reduce your stress!

Many mums come to me with neck, low back pain, and sciatica, seeking relief from the physical demands of their busy lives. Chiropractic care addresses these issues directly by treating the source of pain, restoring function, and allowing for a return to daily activities without discomfort. This pain relief is the first step toward reducing stress, as it enables mums to move freely and engage fully with their families and personal interests.

Improved Mood and Energy Through Physical Health

The link between physical and emotional health is well-documented. Chronic pain can sap energy and darken moods, making it harder to face the day's demands. By alleviating this pain, chiropractic adjustments can help lift emotional burdens, allowing for a more positive outlook and the energy to tackle daily tasks. This aspect of chiropractic care is especially beneficial for mums, who need resilience and vitality to manage their responsibilities.

Better Sleep for Better Days

Quality sleep is crucial for health, yet it's often elusive when juggling a packed schedule and dealing with physical pain. Chiropractic care can enhance sleep quality by reducing pain and discomfort, making it easier to relax and enjoy restorative sleep. Better sleep leads to improved alertness, stronger immunity, and a more balanced nervous system, all of which are essential for busy mums.

New Year Less Stress

Bottom Line:

Did you know that recent studies indicate that over 54% of people are stressed by the amount of stress in their lives? That’s a lot of stress! Stress in our shoulders. Stress in our neck. It’s no secret that muscle tension in those areas can contribute to headaches and neck and back pain. What you may not know, however, is that chronic stress can decrease your energy levels, increasing you’re the likelihood that you’ll experience irritability, illness, and even depression. Hold on – there’s good news on the other side of that coin! There are, in fact, some very simple ways that you can begin to dramatically lower your stress levels and boost your energy levels.

Why it Matters:

The first and best way to improve your overall health and happiness is motion. We know we are built to move. We know we’re not meant to be sedentary creatures, and improving our spinal motion, or segmental motion, is one the ways that Chiropractic adjustments can specifically help you move and feel better. How? Studies have shown that Chiropractic care can significantly reduce that nagging muscle tension in the shoulders, positively impacting your pain and stress levels and your range of motion. Researchers observed: 

·A bilateral reduction in cervical muscle tension following a Chiropractic adjustment.

· Metabolic changes in the brain and skeletal muscles, as well as reductions in subjective pain, muscle tension following a Chiropractic adjustment.

Next Steps:

Get active. Get adjusted. And, if you know someone who gets predictably sick or stressed every year around the holidays, show them you care and share this research with them. You may just be able to help them have a happier and healthier holiday season!
