How Chronic Stress Shows Up as Neck Pain, Headaches, and Fatigue
Take Charge of Your Health Podcast
Do you struggle with constant neck tension, recurring headaches, and ongoing fatigue? These symptoms are often connected—and chronic stress may be the root cause. When the nervous system stays in fight-or-flight, the body holds tension in the neck and shoulders, disrupts sleep, and drains energy over time.
In this episode of Take Charge of Your Health, Dr. Guadalupe Vanderhorst Rodriguez explains how long-term stress affects the nervous system, why pain and fatigue often appear together, and how acupuncture helps release tension, calm the body, and restore balance naturally. You’ll also hear a real-life patient story showing how addressing stress at the root led to fewer headaches, reduced neck pain, and improved energy.
This episode is especially helpful for listeners experiencing tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain, burnout, poor sleep, and stress-related fatigue who are seeking natural, holistic solutions.
If you’re in Plattsburgh, NY and ready to address stress-related pain at the root, this is exactly what we support at Kicotan Acupuncture.
