Feeling Great this Holiday Season

Bottom Line:

The holidays often bring plenty of cheer…and a healthy dose of seasonal stress. Between the travel, parties, and shopping, there are a lot of demands placed on your time, your mind, and your body, and all this commotion can result in muscle spasms and the re-occurrence of familiar aches and pains. For many people, these aches show up in two distinct areas - the low back and the neck and shoulders. Sound familiar?

Why it Matters:

Nagging low back or neck pain during the holidays can quickly turn into a flare-up that can sideline your holiday plans and pile on the frustration and stress. It’s a vicious cycle, but by making a few smart decisions now, you can position yourself to have a pain-free holiday season. Here are a few key holiday health facts to remember:

- Stress and fatigue can lead to the re-emergence of familiar aches and pains.

- Research has shown that Chiropractic adjustments can help decrease both pain and muscle tension.

- Staying on track with your care plan will help ensure that you are moving and feeling great this holiday season.
