If you have been living with stress-related headaches and neck strain since the holiday season and your symptoms still haven’t gone away, one of our chiropractors can help. Our chiropractors can determine the underlying cause of your stress and create a customized chiropractic treatment plan that relieves pain, strain, and other stress-related symptoms. Read on to find out how, and then contact our Donaldsonville chiropractors for treatment. 

Chiropractic Headache Treatment

Chiropractic adjustments can relieve headaches by reducing tension and inflammation, easing neck pain and stiffness, and realigning the spine to achieve balance. Chiropractic adjustments also treat tension headaches, particularly ones originating in the neck, by relieving nerve pressure and reducing fluid buildup in the joints. Our chiropractors can also help you identify your headache triggers so that you can avoid them in the future. Common headache triggers are stress, fatigue, dehydration, alcohol, food sensitivities, caffeine withdrawal, side effects of medication or illness, hormonal changes, and environmental factors like noise, light, and weather changes.

Treating Neck Strain with Chiropractic Care

There are a few non-invasive treatment methods for stress-induced neck strain. Our chiropractors may instruct you in posture correction to relieve pressure on your neck muscles. They may use chiropractic adjustments to improve your posture and balance, realign your spine, and relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. They may suggest corrective exercises and stretches you can do at home to make your muscles and ligaments stronger and more flexible, so they better support the neck. They may also try spinal decompression therapy to realign the spine and relieve pressure on the nerves.

Managing and Reducing Stress 

In addition to treating the physical symptoms resulting from chronic stress, our chiropractors can also help you manage and reduce the stress in your work and home life. Our chiropractors may have you make certain lifestyle changes, such as modifying your diet, exercising more, drinking more water, and changing your sleep habits. They might also recommend stress-relieving activities like meditation, deep breathing, yoga, journaling, and practicing mindfulness.
