Circle Chiropractic Center Offers Lasting Relief from Chronic Stress-Related Injuries

Chronic stress has been linked to chronic pain. While some health conditions may appear unrelated to stress, they can be symptoms of chronic stress-related injuries. This type of injury is triggered by tension and pain caused by holding back our body's natural responses to cope with high levels of cortisol (the hormone produced when you feel threatened). 

For instance, people with anxiety disorders often experience painful symptoms, which are more pronounced if the person is unable to manage or cope with life’s stressors. Dr. Christopher Frey, our chiropractor in Fairfax, VA, is an expert in chronic pain treatment so patients can enjoy a better quality of life. Visit the Circle Chiropractic Center, Fairfax, VA for all of your wellness and chiropractic care needs.
