Are you stressed out by the election? In honor of October’s National Chiropractic Health Month and World Spine Day, we want to help YOU with stress and pain aggravated by the presidential election.
Campaign Help Pain
- Headline Headaches–Nine out of ten Americans suffer from headaches. Psychologists say this emotionally exhausting campaign season has some feeling nervous and helpless and that may result in more frequent headaches. Chiropractors help with headaches by making adjustments to the spine to improve spinal function and alleviate stress on your system.
- Stumping Stress – Psychologists say the campaign chaos has many Americans on edge, adding to the stress in our lives. Stress causes muscle tension which leads to uneven pressure on our spine causing our backs to misalign. Chiropractic adjustments help ease muscle tension, leading to a balanced spine and alleviating that tightness we feel when we’re totally stressed out.
- Sitting Sickness – Sitting for hours watching the news, the debates and the political commentary can wreak havoc on our backs.Chiropractors say follow the 20–8–2 rule. For every 20 minutes of sitting you should stand for eight minutes and move for two minutes. Inactivity can lead to spinal misalignment as well. Chiropractic can help by correcting these misalignments and helping to alleviate any sharp or dull pain, tingling, or numbness.
- Jump Jinx – If you hear something stupid about the election and you jump off the couch or throw a vase at your TV — you could throw off your spine. We can’t get the candidates to align. But chiropractors can use specific adjustments to align your spine to ease the pain.
