Last year I had a unique experience of a lifetime related to tensions(Stress). I traveled to Encinitas, California with some fellow Chiropractors to attend something called Seal Fit. This is a training facility lead by retired Navy Seal Mark Devine, and it is designed to prepare people who want to make it through Navy Seal “Hell Week” to survive the experience so that they can become a Navy Seal.
In our case, the idea was to get a touch of the mentally toughest aspect required to become a Seal.
Once the experience was over and I was able to walk again, a few things stuck with me. One of the things that Mr. Devine taught was that it takes practice to take control of your mind when major tension hits. Rather than allowing yourself to go to a really negative, self-defeating spot, it’s better to have a happier place to check into when the going gets tough. Having a few affirmations which you say regularly can really help out during times of stress.
While Mark Devine was swimming out in the ocean for hours on end he would repeat the saying, “Looking good, feeling good, I ought to be in Hollywood!” It worked for him, and he would repeat that over and over in situations when stuff got really stressful, as only a Navy Seal could experience.
What does this (Stress) have to do with Chiropractic?
Stress can have a negative impact on your health and body. It can lead to many serious issues such as migraines, headaches, back pain, depressions, anxiety, and more if left untreated. Therefore, you need to visit chiropractic to overcome your issues.
Chiropractic care can minimize muscle tension.
The muscle tension is interlinked with each other. The more it will you take, the more your muscles get tense and vice versa. No doubt, muscle tension impacts your posture, like how you walk, sit or stand. It also harms your sleep and concentration. The only solution is a visit to your chiropractic that may help. They can adjust your spine, restoring your body’s natural balance, and relieve muscle tension.
Chiropractic care brings back physical function.
Your backbone is the route that your brain uses to communicate to another part of the body. It also has a bad impact on your backbone when you feel stressed. A spinal adjustment treatment can help you to get relief from this and restore your body functions. It increases the nerve flow to your brain and regulates emotions. As a result, you will feel more relaxed, healthier, and less stressed.
Chiropractic care reinforces good nutrition.
Many people increase their intake of food during depression. Unluckily, choosing unhealthy foods and overeating can make you bloated and even more stressed. A balanced diet and good nutrition are the building blocks of a healthy body and increase your ability to deal with it. When you eat clean and healthy, it may have a good impact on your stress level. Therefore, consult the best chiropractor to get the best stress management treatment.
The real answer is stress management. First, Mr. Devine, like most Navy Seals I have met, gets adjusted regularly to help him perform at his very best.
We know that the greatest benefit of an adjustment is the firing of neurological pathways up into the front cortex of your brain. This is the part of your brain that is firing away when you are not stressed out and is where your creativity and problem-solving skills reside. When you get stressed out, you stop using your frontal cortex, and all sorts of other survival parts of your brain kick in.
My recommendation is that you get adjusted regularly and that you come up with a few of your own positive affirmations that play through your head each day. Much better to put in positive thoughts that you have picked out rather than allowing the negative ones that can so easily creep in during times of stress.
Rhythmic chiropractic adjustments and daily affirmations…two great strategies to keep your level at a minimum.
