Today, we are more stressed-out than ever before. The stress of careers, deadlines, conflicts, and demands on our time and money, take a huge toll on our health and well-being. Just as a chain tends to break at its weakest link, we seem to exhibit stress and strain in the weakest areas of our bodies. Stress basically comes in three forms of overload. We encounter physical stress, emotional stress, and chemical stress. In fact, we are subject to all three stress factors at the same time. When we overload, it always manifests in symptoms at our weakest link. Stress can provoke ulcers, migraines, low back pain, insomnia, and other illnesses.

It is impossible to remove all of the stress from life, however, safe all-natural and effective stress reduction strategies can help offset the bad effects that stress produces. This strengthens the function of the nervous and immune systems at the same time, so you can make stress your friend, not your enemy. After decades of research, it is clear that the negative effects associated with stress are real. Although you may not always be able to avoid stressful situations, there are a number of things that you can do to reduce the effect that stress has on your body. The first is relaxation. Learning to relax doesn't have to be difficult. In this section are some simple techniques to help get you started on your way to tranquility.

Loosen tight clothing and remove your glasses or contacts if you'd like. Tense each muscle group for at least five seconds and then relax for at least

    Relaxed breathing, also called diaphragmatic breathing, can help you relieve stress. Have you ever noticed how you breathe when you're stressed? Stress typically causes rapid, shallow breathing.

  • Soothing Sounds
    Category: Health & Wellness, Healthy Thinking, Relaxation Techniques

    To rest your mind and take a visual journey to a peaceful place, consider listening to soothing sounds.

Testimonial

Review By Our Satisfied Patient

  • "The staff is awesome and exceptionally friendly, the insurance process is clearly explained, and the facility is very nice.
    The appointments themselves are also top notch. Dr Godfrey addressed all of my concerns, including taking an X-ray to verify the issue, explaining the treatment and the rationale behind it, and the steps needed going forward. The last part is what I really respected- many physicians may extend treatment for the sake of more money, but Dr Godfrey was able to give me instant relief and required minimal follow ups which, to me, is indicative of an honest and professional practitioner. Overall I would highly reccomend Godfrey's staff, treatment, and service."

  • "During and after my pregnancy, I've seen Bruce and Kate. I always feel like a new person after each visit. My daughter, age 2 has also been a client since she was an infant. I always recommend Godfrey chiropractic."
