Back Pain, Stress, and The Stock Market

San Francisco Financial District Chiropractor Comments:

The financial markets have been brutal...the DOW was down 777 points today. This is one of the most stressful times in the history of the markets...and this kind of stress can be very detrimental to your health.

I am riding home on the ferry right now, and a lot of people are noticeably shaken. Life savings are being lost overnight...who knows where this will end. I don't think it's going to be any time soon...that's for sure.

For lots of us...the feeling of not having any control over the outcome is very frustrating...I know for me it is. But one thing I do have control over is how I respond to it and how I take care of my health. Nobody can mess with that. Even if I were to lose everything I would still have my health and my family...well, I don't know how happy my wife would be...

Anyway...if you are under a lot of stress...the last thing you need is an unhealthy internal environment from a poor diet, lack of exercise, or drugs and alcohol...or tobacco.

Chiropractic can help in times of stress. The stress response causes muscle tension which can pull the bones in your spine out of alignment. We call this a subluxation...it's what chiropractors treat. Subluxations untreated can lead to headaches, neck pain, low back pain and more.

So do the smart thing...get adjusted by a chiropractor when you feel stressed out...and take care of your body...because these tough times will pass...and you want to be there...still standing, ready to take advantage of new opportunities.
