Stressed? Your Body Thinks It’s Being Chased by a Tiger

Here’s the thing about stress: your body doesn’t know the difference between a hungry tiger and an overdue electricity bill. To your nervous system, both feel like emergencies.

When stress hits, your body jumps into “fight or flight.” Your heart races, your shoulders tense, and breathing becomes shallow. But unlike our caveman ancestors who actually had to run from danger, we just… sit there. At desks. In traffic. Scrolling through emails.

And the stress builds up, often in your neck, shoulders, back and head.

How Chiropractic Care May Help with Stress

At Solas Chiropractic in Drysdale, we see how ongoing stress can impact posture, muscle tension, sleep and energy. Chiropractic adjustments may help calm the nervous system, ease tight muscles, and guide your body back into “rest and digest” mode.

Potential benefits of stress relief through chiropractic care:

• Easier, deeper breathing

• Reduced headaches

• Less tension in shoulders, neck and back

• Better quality sleep and energy levels
