Stress Can Show up in the Strangest Ways

People may think of the physical manifestations of stress as a headache or indigestion, and stress certainly can show up as one of those. But it can also show up as a range of physical issues that may mimic chronic health problems. Rather than only treating symptoms, treating the underlying stress is the best way to alleviate the negative conditions that stress can cause. Treatments can differ and need to be customized to your specific situation as what worked for one person might not work for you because you both handle stress differently. Our holistic chiropractor at the Natural Health Renewal Center in Clovis, CA and the Fresno County region can help you find the best treatment plan for your stress.

What Stress Does to You

While traditional Western medicine can be very effective in treating the physical side effects of stress, natural health care and holistic treatments address not just symptoms, but the underlying cause of stress. You may truly have back pain, but that pain may be a physical manifestation of job stress, exacerbated by you tensing up every time you see a particular manager. Maybe you're really having headaches, but it could be that the headaches are due to tension caused by financial stress.

You need to treat this stress in a few ways. One is to address the core problem. If you have job stress, you have to do something about that, or the stress will just continue. Another is to soothe immediate symptoms, such as avoiding foods that seem to give you indigestion. A third way is to revamp your diet and daily schedule. Holistic nutrition focuses on wellness and supporting the body as you deal with the stress. You may also want to take up something like meditation. However, the exact treatments will depend on your situation, so speak to a holistic chiropractor first.
