Two Important Factors for Optimal Health
By Donna Stark
We know your type. You are the type of person who always goes above and beyond with your career, your family, and all of those organizations you devote so much time to. Simply put, you are a go-getter and things get done when you step into the picture. Your incredible attitude is displayed time and time again throughout every aspect of your life, but what about the times when your body begins to hurt? Are you as much of a go-getter then? Or do you do what many others of your type do when their bodies are sore? Do you push your own health and wellness to the side for the sake of everyone else?
Two Important Factors for Optimal Health
As we tell all of our patients that come into The Joint Chiropractic, your health and wellness have to be prioritized if you wish to continue being the superstar that you are, and there are two things that can bring pain relief to your body faster than the rest ... sleep and chiropractic care. Let's take a look at both.
Sleep
Are you getting enough sleep? You may have never considered this, but sleep deprivation can actually impede your body's chance to heal itself. I like to call it pain's best friend because your lack of sleep encourages your pain to stick around longer than it should.
On the other hand, getting the recommended amount of sleep every night helps your body recover. It increases the function of your immune system, facilitates the healing of your body's tissue, and decreases the perception of pain. Do you hear your pillow and bed calling you yet?
Chiropractic Care
In addition to getting the recommended amount of sleep, chiropractic care at The Joint Chiropractic can help bring quick pain relief too! There is nothing more important to us than to target and eliminate the pain you are feeling so that you can continue tackling those busy days ahead of you. But what makes us even more excited to help, is the knowledge that the adjustments we provide will also improve other aspects of your health in the process! And although we know your type likes a challenge, getting the help you need shouldn't be something you have to work for, so we made it easy with more than 500 locations nationwide to choose from, daily hours, and no appointments required.
Do yourself a favor and imagine night after night of great sleep, pain-free days, and optimal wellness ... then put your health on the top of your to-do list and go get it!
