Tips to Ring in the New Year the Healthy Way
New Year’s Eve happens to be a time when many folks take it upon themselves to go out and have a few drinks (in many folks’ cases, more than a few, let’s be honest), stay out late, and wake up the next morning hardly getting their best start to this glorious new year ahead of us. Instead, it’s a great idea to double down on your wellness plan. Go on a nature hike early in the day and plan for a freshly-cooked, healthy meal consisting of clean, whole foods. Later in the day maybe it would be a good idea to do that yoga practice that you’ve been putting on the back burner during the holiday season. Instead of going out and having to navigate the treacherous roads and the unrelenting crowds, stay at home with your loved ones. Maybe play a board game and treat yourself to a nice dessert. End the evening watching a good movie. That’s pretty much the way to practice self-care. However, if you do end up heading out and putting your body through the New Year’s Eve gauntlet, we have your back. Contact Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center to learn more about how our treatments help get the best out of you.

Chiropractic for Winter Aches and Pains
For some of us, it’s true that our bodies respond to shifts in the weather. As we grow older, we might feel the aches and pains of previous injuries a little more pronounced during the colder months of the winter as opposed to the spring and summertime, for instance.
Chiropractic treatment is a great all-natural treatment option that provides drug-free pain relief for your back, neck, joints, your legs, hands, and more.
A chiropractic adjustment can improve your mobility and range of motion, not to mention give you a cognitive boost that has been shown to improve coordination.
Chiropractic treatments also improve gastrointestinal function, not to mention provide an immune system boost.

How to Have a Stress-Free December
Did you know that many health conditions and more than a few injuries can come as the result of prolonged stress and anxiety?
The way we respond to stress might vary, but the health conditions that come as a result of not handling our stress and anxiety properly are the same. Stress can increase your chances of falling victim to one of the following conditions:
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Depression
- GI Problems
- High Blood Pressure
- Obesity
- Diabetes
Even back and neck pain can result from stress. So, how do you properly handle stress during the holidays?
First, try not to overwork yourself in preparation for the holidays. You don’t have to bend over backward to afford expensive gifts. Try to go for something more thoughtful that takes more effort and maybe less coin.
Make sure you take care of your body by stretching, exercising, and maybe even taking that yoga class you’ve been meaning to take.
Practice mindfulness and make sure you have an avenue to unplug, when necessary.
Chiropractic care is also a great way to offset any holiday stress you’ve been experiencing and can help reduce your chances of suffering from the health problems mentioned above. Contact Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center today to schedule your consultation.
