How Chiropractic Care Can Keep You Healthy This Winter

Monday, 08 November 2021 15:26

The holidays are a special time here in western North Carolina. If you drive around Asheville, you will see spectacular displays of lights and decorations throughout our area as people get into the spirit of the season. The chill in the air is a reminder that Christmas and the New Year are almost upon us.

Of course, after the holiday season is over, you take the tree down and discard all the wrapping paper, and settle in for a long, cold winter. For the French Broad River Valley, there will be some days of relative warmth and sunshine, despite our mountainous terrain. 

However, the higher elevations near the Tennessee border can see feet of snow pile up through April, even if no one else is experiencing winter weather.

Residents of Asheville are people who care about health and wellness. The new year is often a time to renew exercise and nutrition goals, but the cold months are a challenging time to feel motivated to get moving. Furthermore, many people experience pain and discomfort when the mercury drops.

If you want to stay healthy this winter, here's how your chiropractor can help.


Your Trusted Chiropractor Can Help You Boost Your Immune System

Has there ever been a time where people were as concerned about their immune systems? Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to health and wellness. Unlike drugs, which treat only symptoms, and surgeries, which are invasive, chiropractic care aims to address the source of pain, discomfort, and sickness. 

Spinal subluxations (misalignments) can lead to a number of issues, including causing you to become more susceptible to sickness. Here’s how the chiropractor can help.

How the Chiropractor Can Help Your Immune System Improve:

  • Subluxations can reduce blood flow and impact your nervous system. 
  • Chiropractic correction can help restore blood flow and improve your nervous system. 
  • When your spine is functioning properly, your body can send the right signals more quickly. 
  • Your chiropractor can perform X-rays that help identify additional issues. 
  • As a holistic health specialist, your chiropractor can provide a variety of tips and advice to help you restore and protect your immune system. 

If you want to avoid sickness this winter, visiting the chiropractic is a step toward bolstering your immune system. 

Your Trusted Chiropractor Can Help You Practice Effective Health and Wellness

Since chiropractic takes a holistic approach to health and wellness, if you have a new year’s resolution to eat better or exercise more, your chiropractor can help.  Our skilled team at our chiropractic office will provide you with health and wellness advice, including:

  • Tips on how to enhance your diet and nutrition

  • Information regarding getting the correct amount and types of exercise?

If you want to live a healthier lifestyle throughout the winter, you need to meet with your trusted chiropractor.

Your Trusted Chiropractor Can Help Ease Winter Pain

Do you feel like you are in more pain during the winter? You are not alone. There is no scientific explanation for why temperatures affect your joints, while some believe the reasons behind joint pain to be linked to barometric pressure is the leading cause of tendons and muscles surrounding tissues to expand in the confined space of your body.

You may not care why your joins, back, or old injuries seem to hurt worse as the mercury drops. You just want relief. You may find that pain-relieving drugs have little effect on your pain or fail to help you find sustained relief. 

Can the Chiropractor Reduce Winter Pain?

Yes! It is absolutely possible for your trusted chiropractor to help you find relief from winter pain and discomfort. While drugs aim to treat the symptoms, chiropractic care can help find and correct the source of the issue. 

A trip to the chiropractor may be just what you need if you've been in an auto accident, a sports injury, conditions that cause pain, or simply feel like your back and bones get achy as the temperature drops.
