Reduce Stress

Ultimately, it is our ability to adapt and respond to stress that determines our overall health.

Physical Stress

Physical stress can range from dressing improperly when it’s cold to not getting enough sleep. Try to avoid over-exertion, repetitive motion, micro-traumas, poor posture, car accidents and other forms of physical stress.

Chemical Stress

Chemical stress includes everything from taking legal and illegal drugs to carbon monoxide poisoning. Look for ways to improve your nutrition, avoid binge eating and drinking and avoid exposure to pollution and toxins. Unlike the temporary stiffness you might experience from over doing it, chemical stress can add up, creating a cumulative effect.

Emotional Stress

Deadlines, expectations, procrastination and traffic congestion can be the source of tremendous emotional stress. Fear, grief, anger and frustration take their toll, depressing our immune responses and setting the stage for countless lifestyle-induced diseases.

Chiropractic care helps us accommodate stress. That’s why so people receive care on an ongoing basis—even if they feel symptom-free.

Dr. Anthony Asks some important questions of interest to Whitby residents - Chiropractor Whitby Dr. Anthony Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
