Headaches and Neck Strain from Holiday Stress? Chiropractic Can Help
Along with the holidays comes added physical and emotional stress that can take a toll on your body. If you’ve noticed more frequent headaches, migraines, and neck strain and you think it’s due to holiday stress, our chiropractor can help you find relief.
How Stress Causes Headaches and Neck Strain
You may have noticed that when you’re under added stress, your posture changes. Your shoulders may hunch, your body tightens, and you slouch more often. These physical, stress-related changes can eventually cause pain, particularly neck strain and shoulder pain. The more stressed out you are, the more likely you are to experience sudden or recurring headaches and migraines, as well. Other common headache triggers are alcohol, caffeine withdrawal, insomnia or fatigue, dehydration, and hormonal changes.
How Our Chiropractor Can Help
Our chiropractor, Dr. Ronald Faries, will do his best to determine the underlying cause or causes of your neck strain and headaches. He may ask you questions about your habits, diet, and environment at work and home. He will perform a physical exam and may ask you to perform certain simple physical tasks so he can evaluate your posture, gait, balance, and range of motion. He may suggest taking an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan to determine if there is an underlying physical cause for your headaches or neck strain, other than holiday stress. Dr. Faries will then design a customized chiropractic treatment plan that combines multiple chiropractic therapies for best results. This treatment plan might include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, physical therapy, or other safe, non-invasive treatment methods.
