The Top Ten Reasons You Need Chiropractic This Holiday Season

Number 10- Decorating

Setting up the tree, lugging boxes from the attic, climbing ladders, fighting with tangles of lights, stretching to trim the top of the tree- Chiropractic will keep your muscles strong and help to keep you agile.

Number 9- Traffic

Especially around the shopping centers- people zooming through parking lots, fighting over parking spaces- You need to stay sharp while on the road. A clear nerve system will keep those reflexes in tact and help you stay alert.

Number 8- Shopping

Remembering everyone on your list, searching for the perfect gift and often wondering how you will pay for it all- Your body chemistry determines to a great extent your ability to remember. And if your mind and body are working as well as they possibly can, you will be more efficient. Chiropractic can help.

Number 7- Family

We are all human. Drama seems to find its way into every holiday celebration. If you are functioning at a higher level, if your body chemistry is balanced, perhaps you could handle "that relative" better.

Number 6- Wrapping Gifts

Hunched over dozens of packages for hours, cutting paper, scotch tape everywhere- can you say SUBLUXATION?! An adjustment will get you back on the roll.

Number 5- Sadness

The holidays can be a time of mixed emotions. Regret, estranged relationships, and bad memories plague many. Setting aside time to nurture your body and take care of yourself can be a real positive step amidst the turmoil.

Number 4- Commitments

Or shall I say OVER commitments- Running to different school and work events, parties, visiting friends; busy, busy, busy- Chiropractic helps your body work better and how well your body is working will determine how much of your sleep is real sleep and not just "down time." You need this rest to recuperate and stay strong.

Number 3- Indulging

Overindulging- stuffing potatoes, pumpkin pie, ham, Christmas cookies, eggnog, spiked eggnog, need I go on? Old family recipes and holiday traditions often lead to over-eating. Keeping a clear nerve supply will ensure that your body adapts better to stressors- namely sugar in the example. (:

Underindulging- rest, exercise, prayer, meditation- often health-promoting things get pushed on the back burner during the hectic holidays. Set a new precedent this year, starting with more frequent visits to the chiropractor.

Number 2- More Energy

The vital energy that runs your body comes from the brain, travels over nerves and gives vitality and vigor to the body. Logic says that if that energy is interfered with, your body will not work at its fullest potential. You need to be your best this season. Regular chiropractic check-ups can help.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE NUMBER ONE REASON YOU NEED CHIROPRACTIC THIS SEASON:

To Live Fully

Every sense, every experience, every emotion, every part of your day is interpreted and controlled through your nerve system. Don't let subluxations hamper the richness of your holiday experience! Chiropractic can enhance your life so that you may fully experience the countless joys the season provides.

"Wealth is the ability to fully experience life." -Henry David Thoreau
