You can’t always stop the chaos around you, but you can change how your body handles it. Chiropractic doesn’t remove the external stress - it restores function so your body can respond better. Less subluxation means more clarity, calm and capacity to heal.
“I have more energy! I don’t feel the stiffness in my neck, back and shoulders as much. I’m also just feeling a bit better all around... I think I sleep better now too. I had no idea that my spine had a few misalignments - nor did I know that those misalignments have been contributing to negative stuff - emotionally and physically. But the adjustments are seriously doing an incredible job for my spirit!” A.H.
Chiropractic adjustments influence stress by their effect on the neuroendocrine-immune system, which integrates the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. Dr. Amy Haas PhD, DC’s integrative review synthesizes two decades of studies to outline how chiropractic care enhances the body's adaptability and resilience to stress. Vertebral subluxation, misalignments in the spine, can disrupt neural communication. Chiropractic adjustments correct these misalignments, restoring normal neural information flow and positively impacting physiological markers associated with stress, such as blood pressure, heart rate variability (HRV), and sleep quality. Dr. Haas's work explains the broader systemic effects beyond musculoskeletal relief that chiropractors have observed clinically for over a century. Chiropractic adjustments promote overall well-being by enhancing the body's capacity to manage stress.
