Stress & Anxiety Relief in Montvale, Closter & Park Ridge, NJ
Understanding Stress & Anxiety
Stress and anxiety are natural responses to life’s challenges—but when they become chronic, they can affect every part of your health. From muscle tension and sleep issues to racing thoughts and fatigue, prolonged stress can disrupt your body’s natural balance and overall well-being.
At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, our team believes true health goes beyond the absence of pain—it includes emotional, mental, and physical harmony. That’s why we offer a holistic, multidisciplinary approach that addresses both the mind and body.
Our providers in Montvale, Closter, and Park Ridge help patients across Bergen County find balance and relief through acupuncture, chiropractic care, and functional medicine—evidence-based treatments that naturally reduce stress and support emotional wellness.
Common Causes of Stress & Anxiety
Chronic stress and anxiety can develop from many internal and external factors, including:
- Work-related or financial stress
- Family or relationship challenges
- Postural strain and physical tension
- Hormonal imbalances or poor nutrition
- Chronic pain or underlying health conditions
- Sleep deprivation or lack of movement
- Traumatic or emotionally taxing experiences
Because stress affects the nervous system, immune response, and hormone regulation, it’s important to take an integrative approach that treats both body and brain.
Symptoms of Stress & Anxiety
You may benefit from professional support if you experience:
- Muscle tension, tightness, or headaches
- Difficulty sleeping or staying asleep
- Fatigue, irritability, or mood swings
- Racing thoughts or persistent worry

Left untreated, chronic stress can contribute to serious conditions such as high blood pressure, anxiety disorders, or depression—making early care essential.
How We Treat Stress & Anxiety
At The Spine & Health Center of NJ, we use a whole-body approach that combines physical, neurological, and lifestyle-based therapies to calm the nervous system and promote long-term balance.
Your individualized care plan may include:
1. Acupuncture
This ancient therapy restores balance to the nervous system by stimulating specific pressure points that regulate mood and reduce stress hormones.
Acupuncture has been shown to:
- Lower cortisol (the stress hormone)
- Reduce anxiety and tension
- Improve sleep quality
- Promote relaxation and mental clarity
2. Chiropractic Care
While often associated with pain relief, chiropractic care can also help manage stress by improving nervous system function.
Gentle spinal adjustments can:
- Lower blood pressure
- Reduce muscular tension
- Enhance the release of calming hormones like oxytocin and serotonin
- Improve posture and breathing patterns, helping the body relax naturally
3. Functional Medicine
Our providers evaluate the gut-brain connection—a key factor in emotional wellness. Research shows that nearly 90% of serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone, is produced in the gut.
By optimizing nutrition, digestion, and lifestyle factors, functional medicine can:
- Support a balanced mood and energy
- Improve sleep and focus
- Reduce inflammation linked to anxiety and depression
