Chiropractic Tips to Beat the Holiday Crunch
By Sandy Schroeder
As fall rolls ahead and Halloween efforts get serious, we may all feel a little bit of that holiday push as we think of roasting turkeys and shopping for gifts, too. If the whole thing makes your body tense up, and your brain cloud over, it might be time to line up a good backup strategy.
First, consider a visit to The Joint Chiropractic for a health and wellness tune-up. The Joint chiropractors see everyone from teens to seniors covering big and little issues. They can also be relied on to help you navigate the holidays safely.

When you come in, your chiropractor will explain how spinal health works to make overall health better. Your chiropractor will want to know if you are having pain, what your normal schedule is, and what your medical history is.
If it seems beneficial, your chiropractor will use a spinal adjustment to correct any dysfunctions, which may result in far-reaching pain relief in areas such as the neck, back, sciatic nerve, or other joints. Patients often note feeling more energy, better focus and a more relaxed feeling too.
As you experience chiropractic, you may find weekly 15-minute sessions to be a good way to keep your energy up for the rush ahead. You may also want to try survival tips like these to make it through to January.
Dodge the Stress - As you juggle shopping, cooking and holiday planning, take time to just breathe. Spend a few minutes just enjoying the moment.
Watch Your Back – Too often too many things get done too quickly during the holidays. Slow down and remember when lifting to use your legs for power. Get help when tasks are too heavy, and pace yourself.
Share the Load – Making everything perfect can wipe you out before the parties even begin. Delegate tasks and simplify when you can.
Get Specific – Pinpoint what makes the holidays special for your family and narrow the focus. You’ll create some special memories and still be standing when it’s all over.
Sleep Some, Too – No matter how much there is left to do, don’t run a 24/7 schedule. Take a realistic look at your "to do" list and pare it down to a ‘must do’ list.
As the pace picks up, count on The Joint Chiropractic to be ready to help. Painful backs, tension headaches, and stiff necks can all use the chiropractor’s touch to help relieve pain and keep you in the game.
