Stress & Back Pain Chiropractor
The normal reaction to stress conjures negativity in our minds. But not all stress is bad for you. Sometimes we need a bit of stress when faced with a difficult situation. It allows our bodies to deal with the moment and even prevail.
However, when some people are dealing with an abnormal amount of stress, they may have associated back pain and experience limited activities and normal, daily functions. Often, back pain causes patients to purposefully limit their physical activity which leads to muscle weakening. As a result, more pain is incurred.
Aside from back pain, other symptoms that may result from too much stress are a stiff neck, tense shoulders, upset stomach (including nausea and diarrhea) and headaches. If the stress is prolonged over a period of time, an overload can negatively affect the immune system, reproductive organs (as well as other primary organs), heart and skin. The emotional toil of heavy stress can create emotions of crankiness and frustration.
If you find yourself with minor back pain that is stress related, we suggest regular exercise to strengthen your back but also reduce the unwanted stress causing associated back pain.
However, if you feel you need to be checked by a chiropractor, please contact us to schedule an appointment. We can give you a full evaluation and provide you with our assessment.
