Enjoy Your Travels… Without Back Pain!

broken image

When you travel, you’re usually doing it for one main reason–for rest and relaxation, and you don’t want to have to deal with back pain on your journey. Here’s how you can help yourself (and your family) enjoy your time away from home.

Keep in mind how much time you’ll be spending in a car or airplane. Before you start your travels, keep up on your exercise and stretching routine.

During your travels, be sure to stand from time to time so your body doesn’t stay crouched in a tight space for too long. Upon arrival to your destination, avoid too much lifting, bending and twisting—after all, you should be relaxing!

If you’ve suffered from back pain in the past or want to get ahead of pain before it starts, consider scheduling an appointment with our practice before you embark on your travels and immediately upon your return.

How to Sneak More Water into Your Day

It’s an essential building block for life and something we need to keep us going—yet so many people across the world don’t drink half of the daily recommended amount of water to keep dehydration at bay. Why is water so important? It helps our body’s function better in nearly every way! And as chiropractors, we care about how your body performs day in and day out. Here are three simple ways that you can help your body take in more water each day:

1. Drink water through a straw. Why? Taking in water through a straw allows you to drink larger amounts in a shorter time.

2. Add fruits and veggies to your diet like watermelon, eggplant and zucchinis—all of which are more than 90% water!

3. Add ice to non-water drinks. This adds water to your beverage and keeps it cool.

Oh, My Aching Head!

As the most common type of a headache, tension headaches can result from stress, anxiety or tight muscles in your shoulders or neck. Other common types include migraines, sinus headaches and cluster headaches.

Though prescription or over-the-counter medications can provide pain relief, they don’t address the cause of the pain. Those looking for a natural alternative may find relief through precise chiropractic adjustments to reduce nerve interference. You may experience the release of muscle tension, which in turn can provide relief from headache pain.

If you’re seeking relief from headaches, give our practice a call. Get Adjusted!
