Top 10 Reasons to See a Chiropractor This Holiday Season

10 Reasons See Your Chiropractor This Holiday Season

1. Stress Relief
Stress causes the body to stiffen up which can lead to headaches, back pain, jaw pain, increases your chance of injury and more. The holiday seasons can be hard when a loved one isn’t there, spending time with difficult family members, traveling, financial strain, etc. A quick trip to the chiropractor can help decrease the pressure and restore body movement.

2. Back Pain Relief after Lifting Boxes, baking/cooking and Hanging Lights
The holidays have us dragging heavy boxes, going up and down stairs to and from the attic/basement, reaching over our heads and lifting heavy boxes and groceries. Remember to bend your knees when lifting and use your
knees rather than your back!

3. Fight off colds and the flu!
One reason why the flu and colds are more common this time of year is the decrease of Vitamin D from sun exposure, increasing sugar intake, being inside with the heat on (cold kills germs), being in close quarters with many people and stress. A visit to Dr. Deb can help increase your immune system and lymphatic drainage!

4. Quicker Recovery from Travel
The prolonged sitting with trains, planes and automobiles can cause low back pain and neck pain especially when sleeping on different beds, couches and floors. This alls strains muscles in your body. Stop in to restore movement and loosen up muscles!

5. Pain Relief From Raking Leaves and Shoveling Snow!
It’s very common to have a sore back from raking and shoveling and is often the reason there’s a visit to BFC. Prevent these injuries especially before
the first snow fall. Wear proper clothing, supported boots, bend the knees, avoid repetitive twisting and of course say hi to Dr. Deb!

6. Pain From Some Marathon Shopping
Fighting crowds, parking lots, driving, heavy bags, and being on your feet in the long lines can increase back, neck, feet, hip and more pain. When standing in long lines make sure you take the time to stretch, wear proper supported shoes and take deep breathes to decrease the stress of the road rage and trying to find a parking spot!

7. Headaches
This time of year with stress, increase tension in the body, cold weather can increase headaches. Other triggers could be the lack of water, increase alcohol content, and many foods especially sugars and wine can increase headaches. Prevent these headaches, help decrease symptoms and rule out a more serious condition by visiting the chiropractor. Massage Therapy also helps!

8. Regulate Hormonal Ups and Downs
This is a stressful time especially if you lost a loved on or at missing someone. The lack of sunshine and shorter days take a toll on emotions. Schedule some time for exercise, bundle up and go outside to soak up some winter rays of sun. Pain free can also help!

9. It May be FREE!!!
By this time of year deductibles are often met or you have some extra money in your flex account. In this case, depending on your insurance plan, your visits could be covered and may have no out of pocket expenses until December 31st. Any questions about your plan give Dr. Deb a call and she can check on it. Schedule you visit and your families!
