The holidays may be the most wonderful time of year, but they can also be a time for stomach aches and pains. Rich foods that are high in sugar and fat combined with holiday stress can be a recipe for disaster for your digestive system. Here’s how chiropractic can help.
When you think of a chiropractor, you probably think of a doctor for neck or back pain. Chiropractic treatments can certainly help with that but can also do so much more. For those suffering from digestive issues, chiropractic has shown to be an effective treatment particularly for issues like heartburn, constipation, and irregularity.
This is because chiropractors treat the spine, which is essential to the proper functioning of the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is responsible for every system’s function in the body, including the digestive system. When the central nervous system isn’t functioning at its best, neither will the rest of the systems of the body. By improving the health of your spine with chiropractic care, you improve the health of your central nervous system, and therefore the other systems in the body.
We love the holidays as much as the next person, but we also know that they can be stressful. Lack of time, gift-giving pressure, money worries, and family get-togethers are already stressful, but add in the stressors of the pandemic and it only makes things worse. Stress manifests itself physically in many ways, including with digestive issues such as bloating, cramping, constipation, diarrhea, and weight loss or gain. Chiropractic can’t take away those stress triggers, but it may be able to help with your body’s response.
With regular chiropractic adjustments, our chiropractors eliminate much of the tension that builds up in the spine. This can remove the stress and lower the body’s natural response to these triggers. If there were ever a time to benefit from the many benefits of chiropractic, the holidays would be it!
The holidays may be about giving, but you can only be at your best if you prioritize your health and wellness. To learn more about how chiropractic can help you through the holidays and start the next year off right, click here to request an appointment at your local Rochelle, IL chiropractor.
