Chiropractic Treatment for Fatigue in Lovettsville, VA
Fatigue is your body’s way of signaling to you that it is out of balance. Chiropractic views fatigue as either:
- Fatigue caused by deficiency
- Fatigue caused by overstimulation
We think of fatigue caused by deficiency as classic fatigue—it results from not getting enough sleep, nutritional deficiencies, burnout on the job, and a low-performing nervous system. This type of fatigue can be alleviated by providing adjustments that improve nervous system function and through lifestyle changes that support your health by bringing your body back into balance.
In contrast, patients with fatigue caused by overstimulation feel exhausted, but they are unable to sleep at night, often due to racing thoughts. This is a sign that you have chronic low levels of stress, shifting your body into something called the sympathetic state.
You may also know the sympathetic state as fight-or-flight mode. Your body is flooded with the stress hormone cortisol in this state and your adrenal glands are fatigued. When we see patients with this type of fatigue, we clear blocked nerve flow through targeted chiropractic adjustments. Next, we get to work balancing your hormones and helping you make lifestyle changes for lasting relief.
