Stress & Tension Relief FAQs
-
Stress and muscle tension often come from a nervous system that’s stuck in fight or flight mode. When your body can’t switch back into rest and recovery, muscle tone increases, breathing patterns change, and the entire system stays on high alert. At Legend Chiropractic Excelsior in Excelsior, Minnesota, we use neurologic chiropractic adjustments to help the body rebalance its stress response, calm the nervous system, and restore physical and mental ease for patients across Excelsior, Shorewood, Minnetonka, Chanhassen, and Victoria.
-
Traditional chiropractic typically focuses on bones and joints. Neurologic chiropractic focuses on how the nervous system regulates stress and muscle tone. By adjusting at the level of the brainstem and upper spine, we reduce overstimulation in the nervous system, allowing muscles to relax naturally and the body to return to a calm, healing state.
-
Yes. When the nervous system is under constant stress, it alters communication between the brain and body. This can cause problems like fatigue, digestive issues, sleep problems, headaches, and hormonal imbalances. By improving neurologic function, we can help normalize these systems and improve whole-body health—not just relieve tight muscles.

At Legend Chiropractic Excelsior, we use two advanced neurologic assessments to pinpoint the root cause of stress and tension:
Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Measures how your body adapts to stress and whether you’re stuck in a chronic stress response state.
Surface EMG (Electromyography): Measures muscle tone along the spine to identify areas of overactivity that constantly send stress signals to the brain.
These scans allow Dr. Axel Osborn to identify where the nervous system is overworked and create a precise care plan to restore balance.
-
Your first visit includes a full neurologic scan and consultation. We’ll assess whether your stress response is overactive and whether your spinal muscles are firing evenly or abnormally. Many patients with chronic stress show super-elevated muscle tone and twisting patterns along the spine—clear signs that the nervous system is overloaded.
Using this data, Dr. Axel Osborn builds a tailored care plan to calm the brain, restore normal muscle activity, and help your body return to a balanced state of rest, recovery, and resilience.
