Merry Christmas! Another day year of setting up the Christmas tree and enjoying quality time with friends and family but lets not forget how our body feels from the aftermath!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aches and pains from hours of seated activity in awful couches or playing an outdoor game of soccer or cricket<\/a> for the first time in years good become one of the last times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of “holiday injuries we see during this period is great for us as chiropractors but at the same time we to need a break over Christmas and here we will show ways in which you can combat these injuries before they happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Stay Injury Free Over Christmas Break?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to your body<\/a>! If you are someone who works a desk job and does little to no exercise, overextending yourself could cause more harm than good. Gardening the whole backyard in a day is also an example that we see throughout the year which brings people in with “sudden” back pain or sciatica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Should I Do Whilst With The Family?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engage in family time but know when to much sitting or to much physical activity is enough. If you are a fit individual this is less likely to affect you although uncomfortable seating or longstanding can still bring on unwanted pains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do When The Pain Starts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sit down and relax. Rest is best and if possible call up your nearest chiropractor to get in for an adjustment<\/a>. Being that it is the holiday period time slots may be limited from clinic to clinic but thankfully our practices will be open throughout Christmas and New Years for any emergency appointments!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
