Take Time to Pamper YOU!

Stress management

It's a stressful time of year. In addition to performing the duties associated with all of your other responsibilities, you have added responsibilities that the holidays require. Where are we celebrating? Who will be there? What do I have to do/bring? Is my shopping done? Do I have enough money for that gift for Mom? Will the children be happy? The holidays can really pack on the stress!

How do you deal with that kind of stress? Well...you should put some of the focus on yourself and do something you really enjoy this time of year. Take a nice latte break while shopping. Get a massage. Buy a holiday gift that is just to you, from you! Have a manicure, a pedicure, a facial – or even all three! Throw a cookie exchange party to cut down on baking! Have dinner with an old friend who is coming into town to visit family.

In terms of cooking – buy some prepared foods or hire someone to help with food preparation. Ask everyone to bring a dish. Or, cut back on food preparation entirely, there's always too much anyway and who needs all those extra calories anyway? Get the children to pitch in to help – they love to make cookies!

Other obligations? Forget the holiday cards this year. Enlist help from your family with the decorating. Have a grab bag instead of buying for every family member.

The idea here is to take care of you and part of doing that is making sure you take care of your health by keeping up with your chiropractic adjustments, eating nutritious foods, and getting plenty of water and rest!

Do something different this year – do something for YOU!

The Doctor Asks some important questions of interest to Twinsburg residents - Chiropractor Twinsburg The Doctor Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
What can a chiropractor do for asthma?
Many people think of chiropractic as exclusively dealing with the spine. But I'm interested in the spine because it covers the nervous system. Problems in the spine can produce problems in the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerves—including those to the lungs and bronchial tubes. Find out how chiropractic care has helped those with asthma.
