WHAT IS STRESS? Stress. Can you get rid of it? No way! Stress is inescapable. To be alive is to be under stress - but that isn’t always bad... With too little stress we’d be bored to tears, but with too much we’d develop emotional and physical disease. Properly handled, however, stress can mean a life of challenge, excitement and growth. For example, the biographies of famous scientists, explorers, artists, writers, entertainers, businessmen and others reveal that times of intense personal stress are also times of insight, creativity, accomplishment and personal growth. WHAT CAUSES STRESS? Things that cause stress are called stressors. The world is full of stressors. They can be as simple as a speck of pollen in your nose or as complex as a first date, as uneventful as going out for a walk or as dramatic as facing surgery. THE CHIROPRACTIC APPROACH Chiropractors relieve your body from one of the most destructive stresses you may experience: the vertebral subluxation complex. The vertebral subluxation complex is a dangerous stressor that can damage your nerves, weaken your health and exhaust your energy stores. We can carry this often painless condition around for years without knowing it. Emotional as well as physical stress may stem from this condition. THE SUBLUXATION AS STRESS 
Subluxations cause damage to your nervous and skeletal systems,
fatiguing and weakening you both physically and emotionally. Your
ability to deal with life’s stress is thus compromised and
this paves the way for sickness and disease.Many diseases are actually not so much the direct results of some external agent (an infection, an intoxication) as they are consequences of the body’s inability to meet these agents by adequate adaptive reaction. Removing vertebral subluxations from your body improves the function of your nervous system and promotes better adaptation to environmental stress, whether physical or psychological. |
