Chiropractic Care Benefits During the Holidays

Battling crowds at the mall, rushing to meet end-of-year work deadlines, and carrying heavy packages to and from the post office can take the joy right out of the holidays. It’s no surprise that many of us wake up January 1st feeling stressed, exhausted and in need of a vacation from the “holidays”. While we’d all like to escape to a tropical island to recharge, sadly that’s not always the most practical option. The good news is that chiropractic care can help manage holiday stress and pain so we wake up on New Year’s Day feeling refreshed and ready to start the New Year off right. Below, our chiropractor shares three ways that chiropractic care can make a difference for your health this holiday season.

3 Ways Chiropractic Care Supports Holiday Wellness

#1: Treat aches and pains. Carrying holiday decorations up from the basement, taking heavy boxes of presents to the post office, and bringing the Christmas tree into the house are hardly light undertakings. If you strain a back muscle, you could be feeling this pain well into January. Regular chiropractic care treats aches and pains before they get out of control. Adjustments support proper spinal alignment, reducing the risk for chronic pain.

#2: Stop holiday weight gain. All those holiday cookies, cocktails, and big family dinners can really pack on the pounds. Our nutritional counseling services keep patients on-track to meet their weight loss goals during the holiday season without feeling deprived. We work closely with each patient to design a personal holiday diet that lets them enjoy their favorite foods without packing on extra pounds.

#3: Relieve holiday stress. Holiday stress can affect your physical, mental and emotional well being. Stress increases the risk for headaches, high blood pressure, skin conditions, arthritis, weight gain, anxiety and depression. Yikes! When we are stressed, our bodies can internalize this stress within the muscles, trapping tension that affects mobility and increases the risk for pain. Chiropractic adjustments support optimal spinal and joint health.
