Chiropractic for Those Under Stress

stressed man in office We’ve all felt the strain emotional stress can have on our bodies, whether we realize that’s what is causing our symptoms or not. When life becomes demanding and we’re being stretched too thin, we can experience increased tension headaches, grinding and clenching of our jaws, and increased muscle tension throughout the body.

The result is pain and discomfort that develops throughout the body. Our chiropractic care plans at Branchville Family Chiropractic work to undo the effects stress is having on your body, correcting the misalignments and improving the health of your nervous system. This, in turn, allows you to handle the stress more effectively.

Improve Your Well-being with Individualized Care

We all experience stress that affects every part of our body. Whenever anybody is under stress, they’re going to feel different physical symptoms, either from the stress directly or by way of how the stress is affecting our muscles, posture, and behaviors. By clearing out the misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations, and the tension on the spine and the nervous system, we can decrease the effects of that stress.

Most people will feel it in their head or in their neck because that’s just a normal pattern of tension. It’s a sign our body is guarding and protecting us when we’re under stress. As a result, when patients visit Dr. Kim Stetzel to be adjusted, their body systems are able to communicate more effectively with one another, they feel a decrease in symptoms, and their body is able to function better.

During your individualized chiropractic plan, you may receive several different forms of chiropractic care including:

Chiropractic Biophysics
Diversified
Gonstead

Pierce/Pierce Instrument
Thompson Drop Table
Toggle Recoil

Offering Holistic Options for Stress Management

During adjustments, Dr. Kim can feel the differences in her patients’ bodies when they are enduring additional stress in life, and conversely when they’re on vacation or have made improvements in the reduction of stress in their lives. As part of your chiropractic plan, she will discuss ways to better regulate the stress in your life to improve your symptoms in between appointments, but also for lifetime health and wellness.

Stressors will always be a part of life, so it’s important we learn how to react to them in healthy ways when possible. She will direct people to resources when necessary to aid them in their journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of conditions do you treat?

We’re passionate about helping family members of all ages, from newborns to grandparents, who are experiencing stress-related tension, back or neck pain, headaches, posture challenges, or discomfort from spinal misalignments. Our focus is simple: helping your body function at its highest level so it has the greatest opportunity to heal and maintain wellness.

How can chiropractic care help with stress?

Stress doesn’t just affect your mind; it shows up in your body as tight muscles, tension headaches, and soreness through your neck and shoulders. Our adjustments gently reduce tension on your spine and nervous system, re-awakening your body’s inborn ability to respond to stress in a healthier, more balanced way.

What techniques do you use during adjustments?

Dr. Kim Stetzel uses a variety of safe, proven chiropractic methods, including Chiropractic BioPhysics®, Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson Drop Table, and Toggle Recoil techniques. Every care plan is tailored to your unique needs and comfort level, because your well-being is our only focus.

Do I need a referral from another doctor to see a chiropractor?

No referral is necessary! You can schedule directly with us. We’ll review your health history, perform a detailed assessment, and create a custom care plan to help you feel better as quickly as possible.

What can I expect at my first appointment?

Your first visit includes a consultation with Dr. Kim, a gentle examination, and clear recommendations for care. We’ll listen to your concerns, answer all your questions, and ensure you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way before we begin any adjustments.

How often will I need to come in for care?

It depends on your individual needs, stress level, lifestyle, and how your body responds. Some patients find relief after just a few visits, while others benefit from ongoing wellness care to maintain optimal function. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your life and goals.
