A Winning Duo for Stress Management: Chiropractor and Massage Therapist

Stress management is vital to our overall health. The difficult tasks of daily work can often leave us depleted and habitually anxious, but if we are proactive about seeking out the proper care, we can certainly mitigate the negative effects of stress. ANEW Medical and Rehabilitation in Joliet offers such relief in several forms, whether you need to see a chiropractor for pain related to an injury or are seeking the healing benefits of massage therapy. 

Massages Aide in Our Mental and Physical Well-Being

Studies have linked that massage can reduce levels of cortisol, muscle soreness, and inflammation. Our bodies strive to function efficiently and optimally. That is why we are only meant to release cortisol while in acute stress moments like in a fight or flight circumstance. Unfortunately, our worries have signaled our bodies to release cortisol regularly, thus, releasing more glucose than necessary and wreaking havoc on our adrenals. 

Besides reducing cortisol, massage therapy increases blood flow to the parts of the brain that regulate mood and stress. Those who suffer from chronic pain or illness may see improvements in immunity because our immune function is directly linked to the aforementioned parts of the brain. 

Some other benefits of massage therapy are linked to helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, and fibromyalgia.
