Sail Through the Holidays Comfortably With Chiropractic Care

The holiday season can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you love spending time with family and friends. On the other hand, the stress and running around beforehand can take its toll on your musculoskeletal structure, leaving you in some discomfort that can overshadow the holiday spirit.

Whether you’re struggling with back pain or your arthritis is flaring, taking some time now to realign your body through chiropractic care is a great idea and one that you’ll appreciate come the holidays.

At Valliant Life Medical, our team of holistic health care providers understands the power that preventive chiropractic care can have, especially during times of great stress. 

Here’s how we can help you move freely and without discomfort over the holidays through chiropractic care.

Getting aligned

At the heart of chiropractic care are spinal adjustments that promote improved alignment. Your spine is the foundation of your entire musculoskeletal system, and any misalignment along this all-important structure can have a cascading effect throughout your body.

By adjusting your spine, we not only encourage alignment, we also allow resources in your body to flow more freely, which can combat pain and inflammation. In addition, realigning your spine can take the pressure off the sensitive nerve roots that exit your spine. 

Lastly, when you have a misalignment in your spine, it can lead to muscle tension and muscle spasms. If you add this tension to the muscle tension that comes with holiday stress, you have a perfect recipe for back or neck pain. Through spinal adjustments, we can relieve this added tension to avoid painful muscle spasms.

Beyond adjusting your spine

While spinal adjustments are key to our chiropractic care, we also offer different therapies that address your unique needs. When you come in, we review your medical history and what your concerns are for getting through the holidays.

For example, if you’re concerned about your arthritis flaring or a familiar muscle spasm in your lower back reappearing, we offer several therapies under our chiropractic care, including:

• Therapeutic exercises and stretches
• Massage therapy
• Nutrition
• Lifestyle adjustments, such as sleep position and posture correction

We approach your musculoskeletal structure from every angle so that it will function optimally through the holidays and beyond.

Chiropractic care works

While we can report success after success using chiropractic care, let’s look at some research that backs up our experiences. For example, one report gathered information from 26 randomized trials that used spinal manipulative therapy for lower back pain. The report concluded that the treatments were, “associated with modest improvements in pain and function at up to 6 weeks.”

While this is only one study, it provides us a glimpse into why an estimated 35 million people in the United States seek chiropractic care.
