Stress Reduction
We help people lower stress! Have you entered the Pain/Stress Spiral?
Question: When you are hurting, aching, not feeling your best, what do you STOP doing?
Spend a few seconds on this because I have asked roughly 300 audiences this question and they have ALL said the same basic thing. Now that you’ve got it, here’s the next question.
When you stop moving, exercising or being active do you get stronger or weaker?
How about looser or tighter?
When you are weaker and tighter how do you feel?
When you feel that way and can’t burn off stress via movement because of pain, what kind of sleep do you get?
What does poor or deficient sleep do to your life and stress levels?
When you are tired, in pain and stressed - What kinds of food/drink choices do you make?
What do those COMFORT foods do to your weight AND to your levels of inflammation?
How does being heavier and inflamed affect your pain levels?
Because when you start getting AJUSTED, you start changing YOUR PATTERN. Those damaged, stuck injured joints move a little bit and heal a little bit, and so you start to feel a little bit better.
When you move a little more, do you get weaker or stronger? Tighter or looser?
How does that make you feel?
That helps you to sleep better which then helps to reduce inflammation and lower stress, which makes you more patient and NICER.
That’s right, you handle challenges better and stress better, which makes you nicer and HAPPIER.
This increased activity causes people to lose weight, and become even stronger and more pliable as well as WANT to eat better.
Can you see how many of the STRESS PROBLEMS IN LIFE start small but end BIG and their solution also starts small but ends BIG!
Now when you are hurting more, stressed out, overtired, and inflamed - How does that affect your relationships (easier to forgive, have patience, show kindness…etc?!)
How does pain, stress and emotional strife affect your quality of life and productivity in the office or at home?
How does not being able to do your best, having to call in sick or chronically lean on others make you feel about yourself?
What does that do to your stress and pain levels?
How does that make you feel?
What does that do to your quality of life, hope, participation, outlook on the future…etc.
Healthcare is beginning to realize that there is NO separation between PHYSICAL STRESS and the EMOTIONAL and CHEMICAL STRESS that it causes and that is caused by it.
I learned this the hard way when I was 20 years old and it began to ruin my life, but also put me on the path of my life’s work…
Restorative chiropractic care begins the REVERSAL OF THIS CHRONIC STRESS SPIRAL that contributes to many pain syndromes and diseases.
When someone starts to feel a little better, guess what nearly EVERYBODY wants to do?
MOVE!
When you keep up with adjustments, continuing to change the pattern in your body and start exercises and spinal remodeling, you reduce the gravitational stress on your body and CONTINUE FEELING EVEN BETTER,
which… you guessed it…makes you want to move even more.
All of this gives you more energy which most people then use to move, hike, bike, exercise, PARTICIPATE! (often with kids, grandkids… etc).
Eating healthier helps to FURTHER LOWER YOUR INFLAMMATION levels and improves digestive, heart, muscle and bone tissue, making it easier to do…well…everything. AND for sooooo much longer, you see, healthier people not only feel better and have a better quality of life, they typically also get a longer life to enjoy
