Added stress can affect every area of your body, causing aches and pains, headaches and migraines, trouble eating and sleeping, and stomach aches. If you’re still suffering from holiday stress-related neck strain and headaches even now that the holidays are over, our chiropractor in League City, TX can help. 

Chiropractic Neck Strain Treatments

Poor posture can affect your entire body, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, muscle spasms, and loss of range of motion in your neck, shoulders, and lower back. While sitting at your computer desk, your feet should be flat on the floor and your back should be fully pressed against the back of your chair. Your thighs should be slightly tilted downwards, and your head should be in a neutral position straight above your shoulders. 

Chiropractic Migraine & Headache Treatments

Your computer monitor should be directly in front of you at eye level. Use a monitor stand to adjust the height of your computer monitor. A monitor that is too low will force you to turn your head downwards to use it, placing added pressure on your neck and shoulder. Your keyboard should be close enough to you that your elbows are bent at 90 degrees while you type. Improper keyboard placement may cause you to hunch your shoulders, increasing your risk of neck pain.

Preventing Future Stress-Related Health Issues

Our chiropractor can also help you prevent future stress-related health issues. Chiropractors practice holistic healthcare, meaning that they treat issues related to their patients’ mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health. Our chiropractor can offer advice and treatment designed to reduce stress and tension in your life and minimize the side effects of stress. This might include chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, laser therapy, mindfulness techniques, meditation, deep breathing exercises, and yoga.
