If you are stressed, it can send the wrong kinds of signals to the body causing the defense mechanisms of the body to become weakened. The doctors at Gilbert Chiropractic Clinic will help you to learn how unmanaged stress can lead to serious health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes and what to do.

When you feel threatened or stressed out, a chemical reaction occurs in your body known as “fight or flight”. The adrenal glands are directly affected by stress—they are responsible for this “fight or flight” response. In a stressful situation, real or imagined, your adrenal glands raise your blood pressure, increase your heart rate, and suppress your immune system.  Chemical, physical and emotional stress accumulates in the body over time leading to chronic pain and illnesses. At the Gilbert Chiropractic Clinic, you will find knowledgeable, board certified doctors and staff dedicated to helping you and your family improve and optimize your health.
