🌿 How Stress Impacts Healing 🌿 why is it taking longer to respond to treatment??
1️⃣ Stress and Your Nervous System
When you’re under stress, your body activates the “fight or flight” response — releasing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. This keeps your body alert but also diverts energy away from healing and repair.
2️⃣ Chronic Stress = Slower Recovery
When stress becomes ongoing, your muscles tighten, inflammation can rise, and your body struggles to rest properly. Over time, this can delay recovery from injuries or pain.
3️⃣ Chiropractic’s Role in Healing
Chiropractic adjustments help reduce nervous system interference, allowing your body to switch back into the “rest and repair” state — where true healing happens.
4️⃣ Supporting Your Recovery
Combine chiropractic care with small daily habits that reduce stress:
💆 Deep breathing
🚶 Gentle movement
😴 Quality sleep
🌿 Mindfulness
Remember: Healing is not just physical — it’s also about restoring balance within your nervous system.
