Although the holidays look different this year, it is still a time filled with festivities. The shopping, decorating, and time spent with family bring some much-needed cheer, but all the hustle and bustle can also make it a painful time of year. Pushing your body beyond its normal limits and outside of its comfort zone can make it hard to keep up. Wintertime is often a time where old injuries flare up and new ones appear. Here are our tips to help avoid back strain and pain this holiday season. 

Holiday Decorating

Whether you’re climbing a ladder to hang lights outside or stretching to put the star on the tree, holiday decorating can strain your body. Avoid neck or back problems by taking your time and practicing proper posture. When carrying heavy boxes of décor, lift properly and use your legs, not your back and ask for help whenever possible.

Holiday Travel

Fewer people may be traveling this year, but many are still hitting the road or taking to the air. So many hours spent cramped in a small seat and hauling heavy luggage can put stress on your spine, shoulders, and neck. When traveling, be aware of your posture and practice some in-seat stretches. These simple measures can help prevent pain from happening later on.

Holiday Shopping

If you are hitting the mall for holiday shopping, pay close attention to your body. Wear supportive footwear for trekking across the mall and avoid carrying heavy bags for long periods of time. You can always swing by the car to drop off some of your purchases.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief.
