The 12 Days of Wellness


Holidays Bring Stress, Pains to Many; Positive Motion Chiropractic Offers “12 Days of Health and Wellness” for a Healthy, Happy Season


The upcoming holiday season is full of reasons for good cheer, but the added demands of the season can also stress the capacities of our bodies.
Research shows that stress and unhealthy behaviors contribute to some of our country’s biggest health problems such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes. This stress can also build up inside the body and manifest as back pain, neck pain or headaches...making matters even worse.

Doctors of chiropractic (DCs) are expert in spinal adjustment and other manual therapies that can relieve the aches and pains caused by holiday stress. They also provide nutrition counseling, exercise recommendations, ergonomic tips and other advice to promote good health year-round.

Positive Motion Chiropractic and the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), in an effort to promote health and wellness this holiday season, offers “12 Days of Health and Wellness,” a campaign designed to give consumers tips on ways to manage the holidays more healthfully.  Each day focuses on a different topic such as choosing nutritious foods, getting enough sleep, and stretching after tree-trimming or gift wrapping to help ease back pain.

“The holidays are synonymous with frenzied activities, parties, shopping and stress, so it is imperative that people take preventative steps to address these issues in healthier ways,” said Brant Pedersen, DC, an ACA member. “Now is the perfect time to use ACA’s tips to take control of your health and to discover chiropractic’s natural approach to wellness.”
