Start the Year Off Right with Chiropractic Treatment
Whether you’re someone who enjoys setting New Year’s resolutions or not, January is a season of fresh starts. After the holidays, you’ll probably find yourself reflecting on the past year and thinking about what kinds of changes you’d like to implement in the coming months. If you’re like most people, improving your health is probably near the top of your list of what you hope to accomplish in 2023. And you may think that hitting the gym is the best way to get started. But if your health is a priority, we’d like to encourage you to start the year off right with chiropractic treatment.
Why start with chiropractic treatment? Surely beginning a new exercise regime or switching to better eating habits is the first step to a healthy lifestyle? While diet and exercise are important elements of your wellness, at Tracy and Keim, we take a holistic approach to wellbeing, taking all aspects of your health into account. The very best way to do this is through chiropractic, a holistic treatment model that treats the whole person, not just symptoms. Here are just a few of the ways that regular chiropractic treatment can help you start the new year off right and be the ideal first step to taking charge of your health.
Make Exercise Easier
Regular chiropractic adjustments can improve your mobility, making exercise easier and more pleasant. If you need a jump-start on exercise, starting on the table rather than the treadmill may be the best way to go. Getting an adjustment can also reduce the risk of exercise-related injuries, as chiropractic treatment can release tensions and restrictions that might cause other areas of the body to over-compensate, eventually leading to strain or injury.
Speed up Healing
Of course, sometimes injuries happen despite your best precautions, whether they’re related to exercise, work, or an accident. Chiropractic treatment can increase blood flow to areas of the body that need it, so you can recover faster if an injury does occur.
Boost Immunity
There’s nothing more discouraging than falling behind on your goals because of illness. Because winter is prime time for colds and flus, it’s also a great time to see your chiropractor, who can boost your immunity by making sure your spine is properly aligned, allowing your nervous system to function properly.
Reduce Chronic Pain
Chronic pain can have a negative effect on your health in many ways. Whether it makes it hard to exercise, disrupts your sleep, or causes you to miss out on activities you love, pain can make it hard to meet your goals and enjoy your year to the fullest. By reducing inflammation and correcting misalignments, chiropractic treatment can ease tension and pain throughout your body. In many cases, regular treatments can even prevent pain from happening in the first place.
Increase Focus and Energy
Even if your goals aren’t directly related to health, increased focus and energy can help you accomplish whatever you’re hoping to in the new year. Misalignments in the spine often take a toll on all aspects of your health—including your mental and emotional health—because of the spine’s relation to the nervous system. A spinal adjustment that improves the functioning of your nervous system can help you to concentrate better and have more energy and stamina to tackle the things that are important to you.
Get Better Sleep
Fatigue makes everything harder. If you’re chronically sleep-deprived, you may have trouble simply managing day-to-day activities, let alone your ambitious New Year’s resolutions. Insomnia often stems from subluxations that interfere with your nervous system’s ability to regulate the sleep cycle. With gentle adjustments, your chiropractor can restore functioning to this important area of your nervous system, setting you up for better, sounder sleep.
Decrease Stress
Life is often hectic, and it can feel even more stressful as you jump back into real life after the holidays. One way to protect yourself from the negative effects of stress is to prioritize self-care with regular visits to your chiropractor. Chiropractic treatment reduces levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, while also encouraging your body to release endorphins that trigger feelings of relaxation and happiness.
January is a great time to look ahead and start implementing changes for a productive and fun-filled year. You may not know everything the future holds, but whatever your goals, we encourage you to start the new year off right with chiropractic treatment.
