The Types of Stress
There are three primary types of stress:
Physical Stress
Many types of physical stress can wreak havoc on the body. This type of stress can come from auto or workplace accidents, sports-related injuries, lifting improperly, or slips and falls. Childbirth itself also can cause physical stress on a newborn. Let’s not also forget one of the biggest causes of stress: gravity!
Mental Stress
From financial challenges to work-related deadlines to caring for a parent who is seriously ill, mental stress comes in many forms.
Chemical Stress
Food additives, pesticides, pollution, personal hygiene products, medications. It seems as if we’re bombarded with a host of chemical stressors that can affect our nervous system and overall health.
Chiropractic & Other Natural Approaches
While it’s impossible to eliminate every type of stress, regular chiropractic care may help you better accommodate and adapt to it. Chiropractic is a safe, non-invasive therapy that brings back mobility and health to the spine, which may alleviate stress and help you relax more easily. Other ways to reduce stress include exercising, journaling, getting good sleep, meditating, and more.
