Stress is a natural response to demands or threats, but chronic stress can contribute to a wide range of symptoms: headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, insomnia, digestive problems, and increased susceptibility to illness. Emotional manifestations include anxiety, irritability, and low mood. Modern life often exposes individuals to ongoing stressors without adequate means of recovery.
Holistic stress management may involve chiropractic care to relieve musculoskeletal tension, acupuncture for calming the nervous system, and the adoption of lifestyle habits such as regular exercise, relaxation techniques, and restorative sleep. Herbal remedies and nutritional support can enhance the body's resilience. Taking regular steps to manage stress is essential for maintaining optimal mental and physical health.
