Nerve dysfunction related to stress may be associated with physical, chemical and emotional factors. Physical stress can range from everyday postural strain at work to acute trauma such as car accidents. Chemical stress may be linked to diet, stimulants and exposure to chemicals or toxins, while emotional stress can come from work, family or major life events. These stresses often contribute to debilitating symptoms, including headaches, muscle tension, sleep disruption and low energy. At Stratford Chiropractic, we tailor our Chiropractor Cairns stress relief treatments to suit your individual needs. Initial consultations range from 30 to 45 minutes and include taking a thorough patient history. To make an appointment, contact us on (07) 4055 1667 or reception@stratfordchiropractic.com.au
Our Cairns chiropractic stress relief treatments are tailored to address nerve dysfunction and relieve stress and its symptoms. Your nervous system is like your body’s electrical wiring, transmitting energy and messages around your body. It can be adversely affected by physical, emotional and chemical stresses. When your body is out of balance, your health and wellbeing may suffer. At Stratford Chiropractic in Cairns, chiropractors Dr Karen and Dr Kim assess your spine, posture and nervous system, then make gentle, specific adjustments using a range of techniques to help restore normal nerve function. Many patients report feeling “lighter and brighter” after an adjustment.

Our Cairns chiropractic stress relief treatments are tailored to suit individual needs and are delivered using a range of modalities designed to restore normal joint movement and support healthy nerve function. For younger patients, we use low-force adjusting techniques that engage the light touch receptors of the body. For older patients, we may combine low-force and gentle manual adjusting methods. See our Services page for further information on specific treatment techniques.
Dr Karen may also utilise the Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) as part of a broader plan to support people dealing with stress-related issues. NET uses muscle testing to help identify areas where emotional stress may be affecting the body and nervous system. While all emotions are normal, if a particular emotion is constantly revisited or suppressed it may become disruptive for the nervous system. NET can assist in getting the subconscious mind congruent with the conscious mind and is a useful tool alongside chiropractic care for some chronic injuries, anxious patients or post-trauma presentations. For further information on NET please visit www.NETmindbody.com
Stress is increasingly evident in our community and while the triggers may differ, the symptoms are often similar and can be debilitating. Chiropractor and author Wayne Todd* describes how poor posture can contribute to sympathetic dominance – a state where the “fight or flight” side of the autonomic nervous system is overactive and the “rest and digest” parasympathetic side is underused. Modern life often pushes us into this pattern. In our practice we provide professional Chiropractor Cairns stress relief treatments, complemented with advice on simple stretches you can do at home, to help your body move towards a more relaxed parasympathetic state that supports healing and recovery.
