How Chiropractors Treat Stress-Related Headaches and Neck Strain
Stress can cause health problems like tension headaches, migraines, and neck strain. When you’re under a lot of stress, you start to hold your body differently, hunching your shoulders, slouching, and tensing certain muscles. Over time, this takes a toll on your body and can cause aches, pains, and stiffness. Our chiropractors in San Antonio can treat your stress-related headaches and neck strain.
Chiropractic Adjustments
During a chiropractic adjustment, one of our chiropractors will use his hands or a small instrument to apply gentle pressure to targeted areas of your body. He will gently manipulate your spine back into alignment, improving your balance, posture, and flexibility. Chiropractic adjustments can also decrease pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and restore range of motion. If you have stress-related neck strain and stiffness, a series of chiropractic adjustments can ease your symptoms so you can get back to your normal daily routine.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive chiropractic treatment that utilizes sound waves to penetrate deep within your soft tissues. These sound waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and promote cellular regeneration. Using a small, handheld electromagnetic device, one of our chiropractors will send sound waves into targeted areas of your body. Over time, shockwave therapy can reduce pain and stiffness, ease tension, and promote healing.
Percussion Massage
Percussion massage is a form of therapeutic massage that utilizes a specialized massage gun to target sore, stiff muscles and loosen the fascia. Percussion massage can ease tension, reduce pain, improve flexibility and range of motion, and promote relaxation.
Pain and Stress Management
One of our chiropractors can also provide expert pain management techniques that will help you deal with pain without relying on the use of prescription painkillers. They can also provide education and training on stress management techniques like meditation, deep breathing, mindfulness, journaling, exercise, stretches, and yoga.
