Here’s some tips from your local Chiropractor and Physiotherapist for dealing with COVID stress.

Mind

Meditate.Meditation can help reduce and manage stress, helps you focus on the present, clears your mind and declutters your thoughts. You will be able to make better decisions when your mind is clear of distractions.How to meditate effectively has been a lifelong pursuit for us. It's not just about clearing your mind of everyday worries and Latency - it's about expanding your consciousness, becoming more aware and aware. Meditation is not about just focusing on a single thought - though that is very important. It's about opening your mind to new levels of awareness. As you become more aware, you will naturally become more skilled at making better decisions - both in your daily life and in situations that may seem outside of your control.


Body


Self - Care. Use this time to take care of those health problems you have been holding off. Exercise. Do your rehab exercises. Eat healthier. You only have one body so take care of it

. Sleep is the most important thing for your mental health. Use that time to get a good night’s rest and embrace the day as a new opportunity to live life to its fullest. Take care of yourself physically, eat right and exercise regularly because it will improve your health 24/7.Magnesium supplements have been found to be beneficial in reducing stress and anxiety by supporting the nervous system. Make sure you consult with a health practitioner to see if supplementing minerals is right for you.


Soul


Spend more time doing the things you love, but never had the time to do. Feed your soul by reading a book, listen to a podcast, pick up a new/old hobby or learn a new language. It’s common in this day and age to work to the point of exhaustion and always needing to control every aspect of our lives that we forget to live it.

Pins and needles is a common sensation

Pins and needles in arms can be caused by many things. Poor posture, sitting in one position for too long, or sleeping on your arm can all lead to pins and needles. In most cases, the sensation goes away after you move your arm or change your position. Pins and needles can also be caused by pressure on the nerves. This can happen when you wear a tight bracelet or watchband or cross your legs for a long time. The sensation usually goes away quickly once the pressure is released. In some cases, pins and needles may indicate an underlying medical condition. Carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetes, and certain vitamin deficiencies can all cause pins and needles sensations in the arms. If you have persistent pins and needles, it's important to see a doctor to rule out any serious conditions.

Spinal traction: what is it and how does it work?

Spinal traction is a method used to relieve back pain and other problems associated with the spine. The goal of spinal traction is to stretch the spine and take pressure off the nerves. This can help to relieve pain and improve function. Spinal traction is typically done with a machine that pulls on the spine from different angles. The person receiving treatment will lie on a table or bed, and straps will be used to hold them in place. The machine will then slowly pull on the spine, stretching it out. Spinal traction is usually done for 15-30 minutes at a time. It may be done once or twice a day for several days or weeks. Some people may need ongoing treatment to maintain relief from their symptoms. If you are considering spinal traction for your back pain, talk to your doctor to see if it is right.‍
