How a Chiropractor Can Help Relieve Muscle Tension

Life is stressful. A lot of us tend to carry that stress in our bodies in the form of headaches, back and neck pain, muscle tension, and more. At Diamond State Chiropractic in Newark, DE, we can help you relieve that stress with a chiropractic adjustment.

It All Starts with the Spine

The spine plays an important role in total body health. The brain sends messages through the spinal cord, which are then sent to the various parts of the body. Because the spine is so vital, chiropractic care in this area is the first step to feeling better. Adjusting the spine can provide tension relief in the muscles, help you to relax, and increase blood circulation. It also helps alleviate the flight or fight response your body has to stressful situations.

Muscle Tension and Misaligned Bones

When you are repeatedly exposed to stressors, your muscles will tense and contract, and you may not even realize it's happening. For example, you may unconsciously hold your neck to one side, or hold one hip higher than the other. This creates pressure that weighs on your bones and eventually they'll become misaligned. A proper chiropractic adjustment can move the bones back into place, relieving muscle tension.

Constant Aches and Sharp Pains

When you're stressed, you may not even realize that you're moving your body in an unnatural way until you feel the aches and pains. When bones are misaligned, it can often lead to nerve pain and even headaches. Proper alignment will remove the pressure and eliminate this pain. For many patients, pain relief can immediately reduce emotional stress, and relieve tension headaches.
