Did You Know
Stress doesn’t directly cause headaches – it’s our body’s reaction to stress that triggers them. When we believe we’re in a dangerous situation, our heart and breathing rate, blood flow, and blood pressure all increase rapidly.
That’s intense stuff! Today, we can find ourselves reacting to the pressure of giving a big speech in front of a large crowd with the same internal reactions as if something truly threatening (like a lion!) were chasing us.
Why It Matters
In fact, common modern-day triggers for heightened stress include lack of exercise, sleep, downtime, and even physical tension – things we all tend to experience semi-regularly. So, if it’s been some time since your last tension-soothing adjustment, what are you waiting for?
If you’ve been feeling stressed, you know who to call! With a holistic approach that focuses on the whole person, our team can help you find effective ways to manage stress that promote overall well-being.
Our mission: to get you the tension-soothing adjustments and personalized guidance (exercises, stretches, lifestyle changes) to help you manage stress and prevent headaches from occurring in the first place!
