Twas the week of Christmas
and all through the land
not a creature was stirring
for gatherings had been banned.
The masks were hung by the door with care
in hopes that COVID would never be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
while visions of vaccines danced in their heads.
And mama with her disinfectant and I with my soap
Had just begun to feel a great hope.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The sudden movement, it caused me to throw
My back out and oh the pain it did grow.
When what to my wondering eyes did I see
but a chiropractor by the name of Dr. Forgey.
My growing pain was a real disappointment
and I knew in a moment I had to make an appointment.
If you can identify that sudden onset of back pain, the good news is that Forgey Chiropractic is open six days a week and we offer same-day and walk-in appointments. We know that the holiday season, especially this year, can be a very stressful time, and it can take a toll on your health. Besides throwing out your back looking for Santa, here are three other reasons to plan a visit to Forgey this holiday season:
Reducing Stress
Even in the best of years, the holidays can be stressful. Add on the added worries brought about the pandemic, and we are in for some serious stress. For some people, this may cause headaches, stomach aches, tension, back pain and other physical symptoms. Chiropractic treatments are powerful antidotes to stress and the negative effects it can have on your body.
Strengthening Your Immune System
Tis the season for colds and flu, not to mention the coronavirus. Regular adjustments can balance your nervous system, promote lung strength and boost your immune system. Making your health a priority this holiday season can help you ward off infections and feel your best all winter long.
Fighting Seasonal Depression
As the days get shorter, the effects of the pandemic worsen and our activities become increasingly more limited, it’s easy to understand why so many people suffer from depression during the winter. Chiropractic can be a natural method for combatting the winter blues because of its positive impact on the nervous system. Being pain free and balanced can be a huge boost to your mental health during these dark days. Give us a call at 360-573-5500 to make your appointment today!
