Stress, tension and your nervous system
Stress shows up in the body: tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, restless sleep and a back that never quite relaxes. Many of our practice members come in for the physical tension that builds up with a busy life.
Common signs we see
- Tight neck and shoulders that never seem to let go
- Tension headaches
- Trouble switching off or sleeping well
- Feeling physically “wound up”
Looking beyond the symptom
Your nervous system coordinates how your body responds to stress. When we’re under pressure for long periods, muscles stay guarded and posture changes.
Chiropractic care is one part of looking after yourself, alongside sleep, movement, nutrition and support from your GP or other health professionals where needed.
We measure first, then build your plan
Every new patient starts with a comprehensive assessment, followed by a report of findings where we explain exactly what we found and the path forward.
Thermography scan to assess areas of tension and stress
Care for the neck, upper back and shoulders
Simple breathing, movement and posture strategies
Referral to other health professionals when appropriate
