Take on the Cold with Chiropractic!
Whether you love the crisp chill of winter or are longing for sunshine and summer, winter is in full swing! Many love cozying up with a mug of hot chocolate, but the season also comes with its challenges and that includes your health taking a hit. Here’s how winter can negatively impact your health and how chiropractic can help.
WINTER LEADS TO INCREASED INACTIVITY
When the cold weather comes, many people tend to stay inside. Cold weather poses a challenge for both those who enjoy exercising outdoors and those finding it difficult to leave a warm house for the gym. These challenges lead to more time on the couch and increased inactivity. When you spend less time being active, it can wreak havoc on your health, particularly your back. Inactivity causes your back to lose flexibility so it becomes stiff and uncomfortable. With regular chiropractic adjustments, you may be able to prevent the discomfort that comes with inactivity.
WINTER LEADS TO WEIGHT GAIN
Along with inactivity comes weight gain, and we commonly see people gain a little bit of weight during the winter months. It may be just a few pounds, but even a small amount of extra weight puts unnecessary strain on your joints, which causes pain. While chiropractic cannot control your weight, it may be able to help. During those times when you may have gained a bit more weight, chiropractic care can help with some of the added pressure put on your joints.
WINTER CAN CAUSE INCREASED PAIN
If you suffer from chronic back pain, you are already well aware that the cold can make it much worse. Our skilled and experienced chiropractors can provide pain relief through chiropractic care, which keeps the spine and body in its best possible state. With regular chiropractic adjustments, our chiropractors will align your spine, alleviate pain and stiffness, and improve flexibility to keep chronic pain at bay, even in the cold winter months. Even if you don’t experience chronic pain, chiropractic is a great way to enhance your comfort levels.
