Stress in Serangoon

The three types of stress are physical stress, mental or emotional stress, and chemical stress. Understanding the types of stress can help you address the specific areas that cause you problems.

Physical Stress

Injuries can cause physical stress or everyday life. Sitting at a desk, staring at a screen, looking down to read or study, sleeping in an awkward position—all of these are physical stressors. Even gravity is a form of physical stress.

Mental/Emotional Stress

Mental and emotional stress can stem from financial concerns, relationship issues, problems with a boss or teammate or friends at school. Worry is another word for mental or emotional stress. Living in the world today has plenty of things that cause this type of stress.

Chemical Stress

Chemical stress is caused by any type of toxins in our environment, including in the food we eat and the air we breathe.

While it’s impossible to eliminate every type of stress, regular chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive approach that restores spinal health and mobility, which helps alleviate the effects of stress.

Is all stress bad?

No. If we hadn’t had stress, we wouldn’t have evolved. Short term stress can be a motivator, and if you have a healthy body, it can tolerate this type of stress. But when stress compounds and your body is unable to tolerate it because it’s sick, tired or in pain, the stress becomes bad.

Why is stress management so important?

Left unchecked, chronic stress can lead to depression, heart disease, diabetes, and other serious conditions.
