If you feel your get-up-and-go has gone, consider that maybe your spine is out of alignment. Alignment is needed in order to make efficient use of energy. When your chiropractor corrects a mechanical distortion with a spine adjustment, nerve system energy is normalized. The vital energy that runs your body comes from the brain, travels over the nerves, and gives vitality to your body.
The objective of chiropractic is to support your body in doing what it is supposed to do. Pain also zaps energy. It interferes with getting a good night's sleep and this is the time that your body needs to regenerate and reenergize. Chiropractic care deals with the pain and allows people to experience renewed energy. Emotional and pshychological stress aslo has a negative impact on your body. Chiropractic treatments help to relaease that stress. Chiropractic adjustments improve the nervous system communication to the body, making it more efficient and thereby giving you more energy.
With the holiday season here, make sure you are well rested and adjusted so you can have all the energy you need to enjoy this wonderful time of year!
Stay in Good Health!

Holiday Tips For A Healthy Back
People often visit their chiropractor after Christmas, complaining of neck and back pains. Here are some tips to make your Christmas holiday enjoyable, and pain free.
- If you have to drive more than two hours to visit friends and relatives, take a break; get out of your vehicle and stretch. This temporarily restores normal posture, which will help prevent a recurrence of neck or low back conditions.
- When loading your vehicle for a trip, organize your luggage and packages into smaller loads, as opposed to one large suitcase, cardboard box or carrying case.
- Wear your seatbelt. Adjust vehicle headrests so that they are no more than two inches behind the center of the back of the head. This will prevent injury.
- It's okay to be a couch potato during the holiday season, but don't slouch on the sofa and don't fall asleep on the recliner, as two or three vertebrae in the spine can assume a sharp angle. When you sit up, the normal movement isn't restored.
- Avoid bending directly over the oven door to lift out the turkey. Crouch down, pull out the oven shelf, and use your legs for better balance. Avoid putting all the leverage on the lower spine. This will prevent injury.
- Stretch when you can, even for a few minutes and drink water.
Have a great holiday season!
