Fix Your Holiday Pains By Seeing A Chiropractor
The holidays might seem like they’re all fun and games, but someone always ends up getting hurt — and as “luck” would have it, that person is probably you. Maybe you’re thrown into awkward situations by your family because no one else wants to help with the heavy decorations, maybe you underestimated the strength of that eggnog, or maybe you just have a particular case of clumsiness. Whatever it may be, at Tucker Chiropractic, we understand holiday mayhem all too well and we’re here to help. Dr. Charles T. Tucker is a licensed Gainesville chiropractor who can help alleviate and correct holiday aches and pains you might experience this holiday season.
5 Holiday Pains That A Chiropractor Can Alleviate
During the holiday season there are dangers lurking around every corner, and odds are you’ll probably get hurt — if you haven’t already. Seek out Dr. Tucker, a chiropractor in Gainesville, to help get rid of your pains.
- Knee Pain: Our knees are constantly under stress throughout our lifetime carrying our weight and any injury or discomfort in them can interfere with daily life. Unfortunately, standing in a line for hours on end to make sure you’re able to get one of those fancy new systematic, hydromatic, ultramatic toys before they sell out this holiday season can be quite heavy on the knees.
- Arthritis: The nagging pains of arthritis are not easily overlooked. Arthritis causes swelling, tenderness of the affected areas and limits your range of motion. What’s worse, individually signing all those Christmas cards and gift tags by hand can really stir up the old pains caused by arthritis.
- Pinched Nerves: Excessive or constant pressure on a nerve can cause what is called a “pinched nerve.” Pinched nerves are commonly found in the neck, back or shoulders and can cause numbness, difficulty moving a certain muscle, and shooting pain. Carrying that 9-foot Christmas tree by yourself while the rest of the family supervises (to make sure it doesn’t have to be a little more to the left) is a great way to get a pinched nerve.
- Back Pain: Millions of people are affected by back pain and it can really make going through your day difficult. Back pain can restrict your mobility, forcing you to miss out on activities that you love to do and even keep you from sleeping soundly. If that fall you took the other day trying to learn how to ice skate really messed up your lower back, it’s time to see a chiropractor. After all, you can’t stay up all night with back pain — Santa Claus won’t arrive until everyone in the house is asleep!
- Migraines: Migraine pains can get quite severe and last anywhere from a couple hours to several days (and often bring with them nausea and sensitivity to light and noise). Chiropractic care treats migraines through spinal manipulation to alleviate stress and pains, because after listening to “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” on repeat for a whole month, the migraines can get intolerable!
