Stress, depression, and anxiety can cause a lot of tension in the muscles, and unless taken care of properly, it can take a considerable toll on your general well-being. For instance, chronic stress can cause some nerves to become dysfunctional.

Our chiropractor uses various techniques to release this tension, including:

• Realigning joints and the spine: Misalignment in the spine and joints could cause pain from muscle tension. Regular chiropractic adjustments will keep your spine aligned and alienate unnecessary pain from muscle tension.
• Massage therapy: Massage therapy techniques such as deep tissue massage and Swedish massage help release the tension accumulated in your body. Massage also improves the speed with which the body recovers from injuries that could be creating pain. Gentle adjustments return the body joints into their natural states of alignment.
• Nutritional counseling: Nutrition also plays a vital role in managing tension. Chiropractors offer nutritional guidance as a way of controlling the various causes of muscle tension and stress.
• Relaxation techniques and movement counseling: Various relaxation techniques can soothe anxiety and relieve built-up muscle tension.
