Let’s Talk Stress & Anxiety. Your Nervous System May Be Asking for Support!
Anxiety often shows up with physical symptoms like a racing heart, shallow breathing, or muscle tension. While it may feel mental, anxiety begins in the body through the nervous system’s stress, or “fight-or-flight,” response. Ongoing emotional stress can overwhelm this system and contribute to physical tension and spinal stress. Chiropractic care supports clear communication between the brain and body through the spine, helping the nervous system shift out of survival mode and into a calmer, more regulated state. Simple tools like slow breathing, grounding through the senses, gentle movement, quality sleep, and social connection can also help signal safety to the nervous system. While stress is a part of life, constant overwhelm doesn’t have to be. Supporting your nervous system—both through daily habits and chiropractic care—can help you feel calmer, clearer, and more resilient over time.
