Stay Healthy Through Halloween and the Holiday Season

As we continue to enjoy our favorite fall festivities in Brooklyn and Halloween is quickly approaching, you are probably beginning to feel a bit of a holiday push as thoughts of roasting turkeys, shopping for presents, and holiday treats come to mind. If those thoughts make your body tense up and your heart race, it is probably time to line up a good holiday strategy.

A trip to your local chiropractor is a great place to start for a health and wellness tune-up. Our team of experienced chiropractors see all ages and treat all body times, treating issues large and small. We can also provide plenty of tips to help you navigate a healthy holiday season. Here’s what you need to know.

Chiropractic Care

When you join us here at Williamsburg Chiropractic, our chiropractic professionals will explain how a healthy spine can help improve your health as a whole. During your consultation, we will determine what issues you may be having, pain you may be experiencing, what your regular schedule is, and your medical history.

Spinal adjustments are commonly used to correct any subluxations or miscommunications in your body’s central nervous system, which often result in pain relief in areas including your back, neck, sciatic nerve, and joints. Our patients regularly report feeling a boost of energy, improved focus, and less stress.

As you make chiropractic a part of your regular healthcare routine, you will experience benefits beyond the obvious of pain relief. These regular sessions are also a great way to keep your energy up for the busy holiday season up ahead, along with these tips:

• Ditch the Stress — As you juggle holiday planning, cooking, shopping, and events, don’t forget to take some time to just breathe. Give yourself a few moments to just enjoy where you’re at.
• Take Care of Your Back — During the holiday season, it is all too often that too many things get done too quickly. When setting up decorations or lifting heavy boxes out of the attic, remember to use your legs to lift, not your back. Get help when items are too heavy and pace yourself to avoid injury
• Don’t Take on Too Much — Making sure every little detail is perfect can be exhausting, making you tired before the festivities even begin. Share the load and delegate tasks to make things easier on yourself when you can.
• Remember What’s Important — What is it about each holiday that is special for you and your family? Focus more on that and less on stress. You will create beautiful new memories and still be standing after the holiday season!
• Rest Up! — No matter how much you have left to do, don’t push yourself to the point of exhaustion. The holidays are meant to be enjoyed and even you can take the time to relax. Turn your to-do list into a must-do list and prioritize what’s important.

Halloween is just around the corner, and that means the pace is picking up for the holidays. At Williamsburg Chiropractic, we are here to help. Tension headaches, painful backs, and stiff necks can all be treated with some care by your chiropractor.
