Stress Reduction Through Grounding & Chiropractic Care
Stress is a mental, emotional, and physical reaction of the body that occurs when an internal or external stimulus threatens your safety. Stress can be the result of worry, tension, anxiety, or any other reaction that occurs when you are under pressure or threatened in some way and the body isn’t sure how to control it. Chronic stress can affect your physical, mental, and emotional health and your overall well-being. At Marsh Chiropractic and Wellness Center, our chiropractor Dr. Scott Marsh believes in the importance of addressing and managing stress in order to maintain your overall health. We offer grounding and chiropractic care in Maryville, TN, to treat stress and stress disorders.
Understanding Grounding and Its Benefits
Grounding, or earthing, is an integrative medicine practice that was built on the idea that bodily contact with the earth can stabilize the body and its symptoms and offer relief from stress, pain, and inflammation. We use grounding mats, which are conductive mats that replicate the electrical charges from the earth. We also recommend therapeutic techniques outdoors, such as lying on the ground, walking barefoot in the grass, or submerging yourself in a natural body of water. Grounding can reduce stress, inflammation, and pain and help the nervous system and immune system better regulate the body. This results in better sleep, improved energy, and increased overall health and wellness.
The Role of Chiropractic Care in Stress Management
Chiropractic care is a holistic, whole-body approach towards overall health and wellness. Dr. Marsh does not rely on invasive procedures or prescription medications; instead, he identifies and addresses the underlying cause or dysfunction that is acting as a stressor on your body. Chiropractic adjustments improve the nervous system’s functions and can regulate the body's stress response.
Synergy Between Grounding and Chiropractic Care
Combining chiropractic care with grounding can improve your body’s immune system defense and restore other natural defenses of the body. Using both methods of care can accelerate stress reduction and help the body find more effective coping strategies. Grounding or earthing therapy can also relieve pain, improve healing, and ease stress, depression, and fatigue.
Chiropractic Techniques for Stress Relief
Dr. Marsh focuses on chiropractic techniques that target areas prone to stress accumulation, such as the neck and shoulders. He will combine chiropractic adjustments with posture correction, corrective rehabilitation, and dry needling to address dysfunction, tension, and misalignments that contribute to stress and pain.
