Back to school is always full of excitement and stress. This year is particularly stressful as schools, teachers, and parents decide between remote learning or going back to the classroom. Not only is it time to stock up on school supplies, but it’s also time to pay close attention to your health. As you establish your back to school routine, here’s why you should consider adding chiropractic.
The beginning of school is one of the most exhausting times of the year. Getting supplies ready, meeting teachers, establishing routines, and all of this during a pandemic! It can really take it out of you. Chiropractic can help by ensuring that your resources and energy aren’t being sapped. When your spine is in proper alignment, your body uses energy more efficiently and your central nervous system (along with the rest of the system in the body) is able to perform at their best. With regular chiropractic care, you can enjoy better sleep, a more comfortable and stable body, and get an energy boost for back to school.
For those that are heading back to the classroom, backpacks are an important thing to consider. Heavy backpacks, especially when they are thrown over one shoulder, can put unnecessary stress on the neck and back and lead to misalignments of the spine. At Wills Chiropractic, our chiropractors can help alleviate that stress and realign the spine for optimal comfort. To help maintain alignment, choose a backpack with supportive straps and keep it as light as possible.
Did we mention going back to school is a stressful time, especially during a pandemic? No matter what age your kids are, the adjustment to going back to school (whether in-class or online) is sure to add some stress to their lives. Chiropractic care can help keep the body in a more relaxed state. The calmer the body is, the easier it will be to keep the mind calm, which is why so many of our patients report stress relief as one of the side effects of regular adjustments.
