I had a patient come and see me yesterday for neck pain, but when I went through his history and he began to realize how stress over time has lead to not only his neck pain, but also his anxiety, IBS, weight gain, poor mental state and sleep issues and how they were all linked, he was astounded, and excited to embark on a journey of true healing, correcting the underlying cause of his health concerns with me.
Understanding that the nervous system controls every function in your body, and that in alignment, and free from interference, the body is self-healing and self-regulating, and that stress, or more the inability of the nervous system to adapt appropriately to stress, leads to nerve interference, where the brain may not be perceiving the environment properly, or it may send the wrong signals to the body, leads to break down, and eventually symptoms. Often, by the time we have symptoms, this process has been going on for many years already.
The Stress Response Evaluation helps us to assess the function of the brain and limbic system, how they respond to stress, and how they recover. It allows us to monitor the progress through a care plan as well.
