Self-Care & Seasonal Depression
October 11, 2024
The holiday season is in full swing. Even if you are full of the Christmas spirit, you may also be feeling some of the negative side effects of the holidays. Many people report feeling increased stress, ache and pains, and general discomfort at this time. That’s where Livingston County Chiropractic Center comes in! Here are a few reasons why you should consider chiropractic during the holidays.
Aches and Pains
As 2020 comes to a close, you are probably feeling tired – no, exhausted – after all that’s happened this year. This fatigue often turns into aches and pains which are only exacerbated by holiday travel and too little movement. Our chiropractors remove restrictions from the spine to help improve mobility and reduce pain. The more frequent your adjustments, the greater the impact will be on your health, comfort, and life.
Boost Your Immune System
Practicing social distancing can help prevent and slow the spread of illness, but the holiday season is well-known for germ spreading. We are usually throwing into busy and stressful situations that are indoors with large groups of people. Regular chiropractic care can help boost your immune system to help fight illness and shorten the time you feel unwell when you do get sick. As your spinal health improves with adjustments, so do the other systems of the body – including your immune system. Chiropractic care can’t guarantee you won’t get sick, but it is a great place to start to get healthy.
Manage Stress and Lower Anxiety
The holidays can be stressful. Planning travel, socially distanced or zoom gatherings, buying gifts – and all in the midst of a pandemic! It can certainly add up. Chiropractic may not be able to remove the triggers that cause your stress, but it can help your body cope.
Regular adjustments help eliminate tension that builds up in the spine, which can help reduce stress and lower your body’s natural response to stress triggers. If there is ever an ideal time to make chiropractic care part of your healthcare routine, it is during the holidays!
