Many people deal with stress through meditation, exercise, and healthy food choices. These are all very good things to do as part of your lifestyle, but if your nerve system is pre-stressed, the slightest deviation from the perfect stress management plan can send you into a frustrating, uncomfortable, or painful tailspin.
Research has found that nerve compression can exist without pain and can cause deterioration within two weeks. Additional research shows that it only takes the weight of a dime to reduce nerve transmission.
In this pre-stressed condition, your body becomes more vulnerable to outside stresses. The location of the subluxation can determine what types of symptoms if any, you experience. For example, someone with nerve interference in the upper part of the neck might feel headaches, have allergies, or a stiff neck. Because the nerve fibers that come out of the upper neck also go to the entire body, pressure here can literally cause or mimic nearly every symptom or disease you can name.
Interference to the nerves in the lower back may cause a backache, leg problems and also affect ovary, prostate, bladder, or bowel function. Interference in the middle of your back may affect your heart and lungs or cause tension, stomach problems, and digestive disturbances.
Like other serious conditions, vertebral subluxations can cause stress for decades without identifying the symptoms. The birth process, childhood falls, sports injuries, and poor lifestyle habits are just a few causes of subluxations. Removing this pre-stress causing subluxation can improve your resistance to daily stressors dramatically.
But, rather than getting to the cause and removing this underlying problem, many people attempt to chase their symptoms away with drugs, or another type of quick fix, and then wonder why their condition returns. Removing the cause and optimizing the function of your nerve system is a better immediate and long-term plan.
Regardless of your symptoms of how stress affects you, a chiropractic examination can locate pre-stressed areas in your spine that may be affecting your health on every level. Don’t wait for a crisis.
