In the distant past when people reacted to stress in a certain way it saved their lives. It is known as the fight or flight response. Currently, there are no predatory wild animals to run from. However, the natural stressors of daily life evoke the same response. The effect on the body is damaging to you as the professionals at Kent chiropractic will confirm.

Perceived danger causes the release of hormones. Adrenaline works to automatically increase the heart rate, elevate the blood pressure and increase energy levels. At the same time, cortisol automatically suppresses certain functions which are perceived as temporarily unnecessary.

Hormone levels are automatically returned to normal when the stressful situation is over. A person who is constantly in a stressful atmosphere such as being overworked or rushed, has these unnaturally occurring hormone levels in effect most of the time. Over time it can lead to a number of health problems.

It is beneficial to use chiropractic care to eliminate chronic stress before it causes permanent damage. When prolonged, muscular tension presses against the joints. This can result in back pain, temporomandibular joint pain and headaches. TMJ is usually caused by someone clenching their jaw.

A subluxation is a misalignment of the spinal vertebrae. When the chiropractor releases muscular tension using manual adjustments it can move these small bones back into their correct position. The entire body is relaxed and healing is possible..

Your chiropractor will spend the first office visit doing a full evaluation of your spine. A medical record is kept detailing the results. Strength and range of motion measurements are taken. Posture is assessed and any pain and discomfort is discussed.

When appropriate a series of spinal adjustments are recommended to manage stress levels and anxiety. This will guard the healthy functioning of all bodily systems. It ensures correct functioning of the nervous system, which controls and coordinates all other systems. Lifestyle and nutritional advice will be provided for overall good health.
