Our bodies are constantly subjected to stress in our environment. There are three types of stress- mental,
physical and chemical. All three challenge our bodies to various degrees all the time. We react to stress by
developing tension. I’m sure we’ve all experienced this; perhaps in the top of your shoulders or neck. Often
headaches will ensue. Bodily tension shows up in muscles, then joints, then nerves. Tension creates malfunction
of the muscles and joints and is felt as pain, stiffness and weakness. The worst problems arise from tension on
your nerves since nerves control everything in the body. Therefore this tension can affect many areas of your health.

Wellness is a healthy lifestyle that minimizes the affects of stress on the body and helps
you stay well. That is not just feeling better, but having more energy, an improved immune system, clearer thinking and a
better metabolism. The wellness lifestyle is best achieved through eating well, thinking well and moving well. If you can’t
move well, you may need some Chiropractic care before starting or resuming an exercise program. Chiropractic care releases
tension on your body, improves the function of muscles, joints and nerves and makes you more able to experience all the benefits
of wellness. You will not only feel better when exercising but it will be easier. You will also be able to digest your food better,
sleep better and have a more energy and a cheerier, more positive outlook on life.
