With Christmas being a few days away, most people are exhausted from the wear and tear of the holiday season.
Chiropractic Care During The Holidays
Considering the number of stressors that exist in our everyday environment, scheduling an appointment with one of the Chiropractors at AICA is an excellent way to unwind.
Chiropractic Gives Your System A Chance To Take A Deep Breath
Stress causes your body to become restricted. Experiencing too much stress on a regular basis can lead to recurring headaches, neck pain and other severe conditions.
The holidays can cause stress for a variety of reasons. The loss of a loved one is often harder to cope with during the holidays.
Traveling to time with family members, standing in long shopping lines, driving in poor conditions and even the financial aspects of the holidays can all create stress that feels overwhelming.
A quick Chiropractic Adjustment can reduce pressure on your head and neck, increasing the flexibility of your joints.
Back Pain Relief
During the holidays, most people tend to lift heavy boxes full of ornaments, trees decorations, and other seasonal items. Lifting heavy objects without maintaining complete balance can cause you to pull or strain your back muscles.
If you need to lift or carry a heavy object, try to keep your knees bent and refrain from twisting your waist.
Avoid Getting Sick
Have you ever wondered why most people seem to get sick during the holiday season? Limited vitamin D from less sun exposure, spending too much time indoors and consuming significant amounts of sugar all weaken your immune system.
We spend most of our time in proximity to other family members or friends. This leaves us vulnerable to virus’ and bacteria that spread through common surfaces like doorknobs.
Receiving a spinal adjustment can help improve your immune system’s performance and help support lymph drainage. This in effect strengthens your organs, prevents ear and sinus infections from developing and helps prevent sickness.
Recuperate After A Long Trip
Traveling to see family for the holidays? Sitting in a car or on an airplane for hours at a time can lead to low back pain and sciatica. Falling asleep while sitting up creates a tremendous amount of strain for the muscles found in your neck, which can lead to painful recurring headaches.
Scheduling an examination with AICA Atlanta after a long trip can rejuvenate your joints that have become restricted as a result of your travels.
