Why Visit Your Chiropractor This Holiday Season

‘Tis the season for spending time with friends and family, giving special gifts, and sharing joy… and it’s also the season for stress, weight gain, and juggling hectic schedules. Everyone knows that the holidays are stressful. Whether it’s mounting bills for travel expenses and entertaining, getting stuck at the airport due to flight cancellations, or navigating tricky family situations, these stressful events can take the joy right out of the holidays.

Beat Holiday Stress with Chiropractic Care

Our bodies deal with holiday stress by tensing up. This stress can trigger everything from headaches and jaw pain to neck pain and low back pain. Chiropractic care is a safe, drug-free treatment that helps manage this pain without the need for medication. Below, our wellness team shares three reasons why you should visit a chiropractor this holiday season:

#1: Manage pain naturally. Whether your low back pain is flaring up after a long holiday road trip or stress is causing recurring headaches, chiropractic treatment is a non-invasive, effective option for managing pain. Regular adjustments are the best way to keep the spine properly aligned, alleviating pressure on nearby nerves that can lead to recurring pain

#2: Strengthen the immune system. Did you know that a spinal misalignment could increase your risk for a cold or flu? A misaligned spine affects the central nervous system’s ability to communicate effectively with the brain and the immune system. Regular adjustments balance the nervous system, boost the immune system and improve lymph drainage.

#3: Fight depression. With fewer hours of sunlight, our Vitamin D levels drop and it’s natural to feel sad. Maintaining proper spinal alignment keeps our bodies pain-free and enhances the mind-body connection, which fights depression naturally.

Many of our patients still have funds left in their flexible spending accounts, which means your visit to the chiropractor may even be free!
