February is Love Your Body Month!

Hi Health Fam!

February is my favorite month, and I'm so excited that it has rolled back around! Does anyone else love February as much as I do? February is my favorite month for a couple of reasons. First, it's my birth month, and I looove celebrating my birthday. February is also a really unique month because it's the only month with only twenty-eight days. Valentine's Day also falls in February which I love mostly for the candy, if I'm being totally honest. Back in my hometown and on the Gulf Coast, it's also right in the middle of Mardi Gras season!

Recently people have started calling February "Love Your Body" month, and I am all here for it. Today, I want to talk about how chiropractic care can help you love your body by going over some of the benefits of chiropractic care. 

I'm going to go over my top 9 favorite benefits of chiropractic care. I'm going to give you half of them now and half of them next time! 

1. Improved Sleep:

Sleep disorders affect about 70 million Americans each year. Most of the problems are caused by stress, chronic pain, and/or lifestyle choices. Chiropractic adjustments have been proven to reduce pain and stress and help improve blood flow, boost nervous system performance, and this can help lead to a better night's sleep. 

2. Increased Energy Levels

By properly aligning the bones in your spine, chiropractic adjustments allow your body to improve energy efficiency and performance. This leads to increased energy levels and daily performance for you.

3. Increased Joint Flexibility

Lack of flexibility leads to joint pain and inflammation, and that also makes the joint more prone to injury. Chiropractic care helps improve range of motion and flexibility, thus reducing the likelihood of injury.

4. Pain Relief

Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulative therapy, have been clinically proven to relieve low-back pain through restoring health of your muscles and joints. Chiropractic care can help determine the root cause of pain and treat that rather than chasing symptoms.

5. Fewer Hospitalizations

Chiropractic care significantly reduces chronic pain. It helps avoid unnecessary surgeries. Chronic pain is one of the leading causes of ER trips in this country, and chiropractic adjustments are excellent at reducing common causes of chronic pain. 

I hope that no matter what you celebrate in February you take time to love yourself and your body!

Yours in health,

Dr. William
