Chiropractic Care in the Winter

Your Health

Winter brings many changes to not only the outside, but also your body. The change in weather can cause joint pains to flare up. As the temperatures drop, your joints stiffen up and your muscles contract to keep you warm, causing discomfort and pain. A chiropractor can help keep your joints and muscles loose and moving freely by performing adjustments.

Cold and flu season also comes with the cold weather changes. Chiropractic care can help keep your immune system strong and healthy by keeping your spine aligned with your body. Having an aligned spine allows for your central nervous system to properly communicate with your brain and the rest of your body to help fight off any bacteria and virus. This also will regulate hormone production and can help against seasonal stress brought on in the colder months.

Injuries in the winter are also more common. These can range from falling, pains from shoveling snow, or even winter sport injuries. Chiropractic care before and after are important to help prevent injury, discomfort, dislocations and misalignment.
