Whether you love a chill in the air or you are longing for the sunny days of summer, winter is in full swing. Many love cozying up by the fire, but winter also comes with some challenges, including a hit on your health. Here’s how winter may be affecting your health and how chiropractic care can help.
Inactivity
When cold weather hits, many people opt to stick indoors. This can be challenging for those that enjoy spending time outside or even for those struggling to leave a warm, cozy house to hit the gym. This leads to more time on the couch and less time being active. Inactivity can wreak havoc on your health, most noticeably in the back. When you are inactive, your back gets inflexible, stiff, and uncomfortable. With chiropractic adjustments, you may be able to fend off some of this discomfort and keep your back flexible throughout the winter.
Added Weight
The winter months are a time of year many people gain a little bit of weight. Even a small amount of extra weight can put a lot of extra strain in your joints, causing pain. While we can’t control your weight, keeping your spine in proper alignment and your joints in better condition may help with some of the added pressure during these cooler months. Additionally, chiropractic care may be the keep to helping you maintain a healthy weight.
Increased Pain
If you are already experiencing back pain, you know that the cold can make it much worse. Our experienced chiropractors may be able to help with chiropractic care, which keeps the body and spine in its best possible state. With chiropractic adjustments, our chiropractors will align the spine, alleviate stiffness and pain, and improve flexibility to fend off chronic pain that comes about in the cold. Even if you don’t suffer from chronic pain, chiropractic care is still a great choice for ultimate body comfort.
