Pain Caused by Holiday Stress: How a Denville Chiropractor Can Help
Millions of Americans suffer from regular headaches.
Stress often is a headache trigger, as it can cause muscle tension and inflammation. During this time of year, holiday stress can exacerbate your neck pain, leading to more frequent headaches.
Thankfully, there is a safe, long-term solution: chiropractic headache treatment in Denville.
Holiday Stress—A Common Headache Trigger
Holiday stress contributes to increased frequency of headaches, migraines, mood changes, high blood pressure, and heart attacks during the winter months.
Other common headache triggers include:
- Sugar
- Food sensitivities
- Lights
- Noise (loud noises or those of a particular pitch/frequency)
- Insomnia or sleep disturbances
During the holidays, you can experience an increase in the number of triggers you experience. Stress leads to sleep issues. Loud noises at parties (even those via Zoom or intimate, in-person gatherings) can induce a headache. Eating rich foods or those you normally try to stay away from can lead to an increased inflammatory response, causing more pain.
