Repetitive Stress Disorder
Understanding Repetitive Stress Disorder and How Chiropractic and Acupuncture at Auckland Wellness Centre Can Help
What is Repetitive Stress Disorder?
Repetitive Stress Disorder (RSD) is an overuse injury that occurs when excessive stress or strain is placed on a particular part of the body, resulting in pain, swelling, muscle strain, or tissue damage. RSD is similar to strains, sprains, and repetitive motion injuries. These injuries are common among individuals whose jobs require repetitive motion, as well as athletes and musicians who perform at high intensity. Repetitive Stress Disorder accounts for nearly 50 percent of work-related injuries.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help Those with Repetitive Stress Disorder?
Chiropractic care offers an effective way to manage and relieve pain and swelling caused by Repetitive Stress Disorder. Routine chiropractic care provides a safe, non-invasive, and non-addictive alternative to prescription medications or over-the-counter pain relievers.
Chiropractors use gentle adjustments to reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints. This therapy helps decrease inflammation and improve the function of both the affected joint and the nervous system. By increasing joint mobility and enhancing nervous system function and spinal health, chiropractic care helps the body better manage symptoms caused by Repetitive Stress Disorder.
Benefits of Chiropractic for Repetitive Stress Disorder:
- Improved joint motion and coordination: Chiropractic adjustments enhance joint mobility and coordination, reducing pain and improving function.
- Relief from joint discomfort and pain: Targeted adjustments alleviate pain and discomfort in affected joints.
- Improved flexibility: Restored joint function leads to increased flexibility and reduced stiffness.
- Decreased inflammation: Chiropractic care reduces inflammation in overused areas, promoting healing.
How Can Acupuncture Help Those with Repetitive Stress Disorder?
Acupuncture can further aid in managing Repetitive Stress Disorder. Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, promoting natural healing and pain relief.
Benefits of Acupuncture for Repetitive Stress Disorder:
- Natural pain relief: Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.
- Reduced inflammation: Acupuncture decreases inflammation around affected areas, facilitating faster recovery.
- Improved circulation: Enhanced blood flow to overused tissues supports healing and reduces muscle tension.
- Enhanced relaxation: Acupuncture sessions promote overall relaxation and stress reduction.
