Is Holiday Stress Causing Your Neck Strain and Headaches? How Chiropractic Can Help
If you’ve noticed increasing neck strain or frequent headaches during the holidays, it might be caused by stress. Discover how visiting our chiropractor, Dr. Nicholas Schumacher, can help you find relief from neck strain and headaches caused by stress this holiday season.
How Does Holiday Stress Cause Neck Strain?
When you’re stressed, your body may tense up more frequently. This causes physical changes to your body and your posture, and may lead to hunched shoulders, looking downward more often, and standing or sitting in such a way that your shoulders and neck can’t relax. Many common holiday-related activities can also contribute to neck strain, including spending hours traveling via car or plane, sleeping on a different mattress than usual, spending more time on your feet, and spending more time than usual looking down at a phone, tablet, computer, or book.
Can Stress Cause Headaches?
Stress is one of the leading causes of headaches. In addition to holiday stress, other holiday activities can increase the frequency of headaches, or trigger migraines. Eating rich foods, drinking alcohol, traveling, spending time with family, hearing loud noises, seeing bright lights, and experiencing changes to your diet and exercise routine can all cause headaches and tension.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic headache and neck pain treatment can offer relief that allows you to get back to your regular life. Dr. Schumacher will help you identify the underlying cause of your stress, so that you can develop stress-relief tools to minimize your physical and emotional reaction to stressors. He will also design a customized, non-invasive chiropractic treatment plan to address both the root cause of your stress, and your symptoms. Common chiropractic headache and neck pain treatment might include:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization
- Cupping
- Hypervolt therapy
- Therapeutic exercises and stretches
- Nutritional supplements
- Lifestyle modification counseling to prevent future stress and pain
