How To Avoid Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Headaches Over The Holidays.

Take Care Of Your Spine This Christmas.

Last Christmas, we saw a lot of people who had spent too long sitting on the floor to wrap presents leading to headaches, neck pain, back pain, and hip pain.

Here are the top 7 tips to avoid “Holiday Wrapping Syndrome” – hey, everything is a syndrome now-a-days!

1. Start early so that you don’t have to wrap dozens of gifts at once at the last minute.
2. Use a table and avoid sitting for too long. Get up stretch and take movement breaks.
3. Just like with wrapping, write Christmas cards in batches and take frequent movement breaks.
4. Consider using some gift bags instead of wrapping every gift.
5. Stay hydrated (with water!) and watch your diet to reduce cramping and inflammation.
6. Exercise regularly over the holidays (and every other part of the year) so that you improve your muscle tone, stability, and resilience to injury.
7. See your chiropractor! Too often people put off coming in for too long which means they end up with bigger problems.
