Today, we are more stressed-out than ever before. The stress of careers, deadlines, conflicts, and demands on our time and money, take a huge toll on our health and well-being. Just as a chain tends to break at its weakest link, we seem to exhibit stress and strain in the weakest areas of our bodies. Stress basically comes in three forms of overload. We encounter physical stress, emotional stress, and chemical stress. In fact, we are subject to all three stress factors at the same time. When we overload, it always manifests in symptoms at our weakest link. Stress can provoke ulcers, migraines, low back pain, insomnia, and other illnesses.

It is impossible to remove all of the stress from life, however, safe all-natural and effective stress reduction strategies can help offset the bad effects that stress produces. This strengthens the function of the nervous and immune systems at the same time, so you can make stress your friend, not your enemy. After decades of research, it is clear that the negative effects associated with stress are real. Although you may not always be able to avoid stressful situations, there are a number of things that you can do to reduce the effect that stress has on your body. The first is relaxation.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "My first contact with Dr. Kerry Keiser was at the restaurant where I waited tables. She commented on my limp and asked if she could help in any way. (I didn't even know she was a doctor.)
    Fast forward 10 years and she is still in my life, along with her incredible staff, guiding me so I can continue to be physically active and strong at 58. The most amazing thing about her practice is that she works to set you on your own path to health. She didn't just adjust my initial injury; she helped me to make lifestyle changes so I could continue to be a strong and active person. Dr. Keiser suggested yoga, at-home exercises and stretches to keep my body aligned. I trust her and would recommend Dr. Kerry Keiser to anyone who is interested in improving their health and well-being."
