Chiropractic Care for Winter
When you think of Winter, do you get images of snuggling in front of the fireplace with hot cocoa or tea? Maybe ice skating or building a snowman?
What about how strenuous shoveling snow or to get out of bed with stiff muscles and an aching back can be? Winter can be fun, but it has its own set of challenges. This Winter, ease the discomfort and increase the good times with holistic health care treatment!Â
We have put together a list of how Chiropractic Care can help keep you feeling on top.
Stay Flexible, Stay FitÂ
Winter weather conditions can affect our bodies more than people realize. Not only are we not as active as we are in warmer seasons, but the cold weather can impact us directly. Experiencing both lack of movement and cold temperatures can bring on stiffness in the joints, as well as muscles not being able to reach their maximum stretch potential.Â
Chiropractic care can help keep your body reaching its potential movement and flexibilities through Winter, allowing you the freedom of movement you need to stay fit.Â
Immune System Support
When Winter hits, so does flu season and keeping your immune system in check is a must.
The spine plays a significant role in your body as it is part of the central nervous system, which helps support your immune system. So, if your spine is strained or misaligned, this can impact your immune system. Chiropractic adjustments and care help keep a strong and healthy spine, in turn helping boost the immune system, which helps fight off illness in the body.
Chiropractic treatments can also leave you feeling calm and comfortable – a bonus boost to your immune system!
Reduce Injuries
Another benefit of seeing your chiropractor is preventing injuries. When your spine is out of alignment, your body is no longer moving naturally. Limping, stiffness or the inability to bend in a way that protects your back can all cause additional injury. If left untreated for too long, you could be at risk for repetitive stress injuries or inflammatory illnesses like arthritis.
This winter, make your whole being your priority. Mind and body are part of what makes you the person you are, so look for health care that treats the full you. For more information, contact Holistic Vitality Center online or call our team of professionals at (919) 848-3333 today.
