We assess your brain’s ability to be active when necessary and to rest when needed. Stress events, such as math tests, exposure to noises, and breathing exercises, require increased brain activity (Beta waves). Conversely, relaxation induces increased Alpha and Theta waves.

While heart rate is widely recognized as a vital indicator of overall health, simply taking a person’s pulse doesn’t provide sufficient information about their stress response. Our stress test allows us to observe how your heart rate speeds up during stressful situations and how quickly it returns to normal. There is a direct relationship between breathing and heart rate.

Under stress, the body typically redirects blood volume from the extremities to the organs, resulting in a decrease in temperature in the hands and feet.

Heart rate variability (HRV) serves as an effective measure of stress effects in your daily life. Research has shown that HRV is also valuable for evaluating the effectiveness of chiropractic care.

The amount of moisture produced by your sweat glands in the hands directly reflects your stress response. Increased hand moisture indicates a higher stress level. Through our evaluation, we can assess your ability to mitigate the effects of stressors, leading to improved neurological responses.

While changes in respiration rate during physical exertion are commonly understood, we often overlook it as a measure of overall health. As stress impacts oxygen requirements, respiratory rate becomes crucial. Additionally, the pattern of breathing, such as chest elevation versus diaphragmatic breathing, holds significance.

We can measure muscle activity throughout your body, both in a relaxed resting mode and during active motion. The trapezius and facial muscles serve as reliable indicators of stress-induced muscle tension
