Chiropractic care depends on treating the human body systematically, comprehensively, and holistically. Many of our patients' health issues arise from spinal alignment and posture. This aspect of chiropractic care is reasonably well-understood by the public and patients who use chiropractic services. At Premier Chiropractic in Federal Way, WA, we help our patients understand their specialized treatments.
Causes of Stress
However, generalized stress can also contribute to health issues. Chiropractic care can effectively treat the problems that arise from stress and its underlying causes. Stress in the human body can arise from emotional reasons, like pressure at work or home. It can also occur from chemical imbalances, contamination, or physical issues that affect the human body.
Physical Changes Due to Stress
Whatever the cause, when the human body undergoes stress, certain physiological signs manifest in the organs and muscles of the body. For example, specific muscle groups in the shoulders and elsewhere involuntarily contract. A simple physical examination can detect these contractions. Once seen, we can devise responses to meet the problem.
Stress Test and Examination
Our chiropractor will use a simple questionnaire to determine the patient's stress sources and possible anxiety levels arising from various factors. Then, combining the questionnaire answers with a range of systematic examinations and tests, we can work with the patient to develop a realistic, holistic treatment plan. This plan is designed to reduce the stressors in a patient's life, and help the patient regain natural function and a healthy body.
