Stress and Back Pain

Posted Jun 02 2009 4:33pm

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

574344901 The stock market dropped over 500 points today. Lehman Brothers goes bankrupt. AIG on the brink of failure...OUCH. Since we are located in the San Francisco Financial District, many of our chiropractic patients are involved in the markets.

Days like today are tough...especially if your livelihood is on the line. The stress can go right into your muscles and cause them to tighten-up like guitar strings. Many of these muscles attach to your spine.

Stress induced muscle tension can actually pull the spine out of alignment...what we call a subluxation.  Subluxations can pinch nerves, causing headaches, neck pain, back pain...and more...it's a chain reaction.

On days like today, it's probably a good idea to hit the gym, get a massage, take a run, or have a chiropractic adjustment. You don't really have much control over the stock market...but you do have control over how your body responds to stress.

If the stock market was always up there would never be any opportunity.

Take care of yourself, and live to fight another day.
