The holiday season is in full swing and you may be feeling the Christmas spirit, but you may also be feeling some of the negative side effects of the holidays. Many people experience increased stress, general discomfort, and aches and pains during this time of year. That’s where Wills Chiropractic comes in! Here’s why you should get adjusted during the holiday.
As the year comes to a close, you are probably feeling tired – even exhausted – after all the ups and downs. This fatigue is a general feeling of being worn down and feeling achy. These pains are only exacerbated by holiday travel, not enough movement, and injury from holiday decorating. At Wills Chiropractic, our chiropractors remove restrictions from the spine to help reduce pain and improve mobility. The more often you get adjusted, the greater the impact with be on your health, comfort, and life.
Practicing social distancing can help prevent the spread of illness, but the holiday season is well-known for germ spreading! We are typically thrown into stressful, busy situations with large groups of people and are indoors. Regular chiropractic care can help boost your immune system to prevent illness and shorten the amount of time you feel unwell when you do get sick. As your spinal health improves, so do the other systems of the body – including the immune system. Chiropractic care isn’t a guarantee that you won’t get sick, but it is a great place to start to keep your body healthy.
The holiday season can be a stressful time. Planning zoom or socially distanced holiday gatherings, traveling, buying gifts – all during a pandemic – it adds up! Chiropractic care may not be able to remove those triggers that cause your stress, but it can help your body cope.
Regular adjustments help eliminate tension that builds up in the spine, which can reduce stress and lower your body’s natural response to stress triggers. If there is ever a time to make chiropractic part of your healthcare regimen, it’s during the holidays!
