Many chiropractic patients experience moderate to severe stress, with over half feeling it impacts their health. Integrating stress management into chiropractic care could improve patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Chiropractic care
  • Psychosocial health
  • Pain management

Background:

  • Psychosocial stress is prevalent and impacts overall health.
  • Stress significantly influences pain perception, particularly in chronic back pain.
  • Effective stress reduction strategies exist and benefit health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of stress as a potential disease trigger in chiropractic patients.
  • To assess chiropractic patients' perceptions of stress and its impact on their conditions.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study design was employed.
  • Purposive and convenience sampling of chiropractic practices and patients.
  • Patients were categorized into acute, chronic biomechanical, fibromyalgia, or maintenance care groups.

  • Questionnaires were used to collect data on stress perceptions.

    • Main Results:

    • Over 30% of 138 surveyed patients reported moderate to severe stress.
    • More than 50% believed stress moderately or greatly affected their current health issue.
    • 71% of patients desired stress-coping strategies within chiropractic care.
    • 44% expressed interest in stress management self-development programs.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient perception of stress is a key factor in healthcare.
    • A significant portion of chiropractic patients experience considerable stress.
    • Stress-reducing interventions may offer non-specific clinical benefits.
    • Chiropractors should consider incorporating routine stress management into care protocols.
