Chronic Stress-Related Pain

Stress can cause chronic pain and wreak havoc on the body. Many people who experience high levels of stress often have back pain, muscle tightness, fatigue, tension headaches, and neck pain. Over time, experiencing this type of chronic pain without treatment can lead to other complications within the body, including a reduced immune system. Seeing a chiropractor for treatment can help relieve some stress and support the nervous system. Senft Chiropractic of Atlanta offers chiropractic care designed to target chronic stress-related pain and provide relief.

What Causes Chronic Stress-Related Pain?

Stress has a way of making chronic pain worsen and can cause pain in the body to develop. Stress affects the muscles, causing them to become tense or spasm, generating and increasing pain. In addition, cortisol levels rise when stressed, which can cause inflammation in the body, resulting in pain.

Chiropractic Therapy Helps with Chronic Stress-Related Pain

There are various ways a chiropractor can help manage stress using multiple techniques. Chiropractic therapy may include spinal adjustments, chiropractic massage, relaxation techniques, exercise and diet advice, and acupuncture. In addition, Dr. Senft will discuss activities that can help boost your body's natural "happy hormones," including dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, which can help lower a person's stress. Seeing a chiropractor and reducing your stress can help lower the risk of developing health problems.

What is the Link Between Stress and Pain?

Any physician or chiropractor can tell you that chronic stress and pain go hand in hand. Many patients who suffer from chronic pain also have chronic stress. There is a direct link between stress and pain, which can easily be treated together because when stress levels rise, so does the pain levels in many patients.

The Role the Spine Plays in Stress and Pain

Many chiropractors deal with realigning the spine but also help take care of other ailments in the musculoskeletal system. Any chiropractor will tell you that the spine plays a huge role in stress and pain. The spine is the communication system between the brain and muscles of the body, and when the brain perceives stress, it sends stress signals to the rest of the body, causing tension and pain throughout the entire body.
