For most, recovering from an injury is an exercise in itself. For an athlete, being told that you have to reduce or halt all activity in order to let the bone or muscle heal is equivalent to torture. However, there are a few things you can do to help speed the healing process so you...

The holiday is here! With the season’s good cheer comes the stress which can lead to tears, neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. This is especially the case at Christmas. The combination of the wrong food, too much alcohol, late nights, rushing around carrying heavy bags, and, let’s say it, family stresses, can all amount to physical overload, taxing not only our physical bodies but our immune systems. This season let us get prepared and tackle the holidays and be in great shape for the new year!
Great tips to keep you in tip-top condition if you’re going for…
A Marathon Shopping Spree
- Keep well-hydrated. Drink eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water every day, and do not substitute any of that with coffee, tea, soft drinks and alcohol, because those are diuretics and will end up robbing you of water.
- Stretch both before and after a marathon shopping expedition. Shopping can be stressful and your muscles need all the help they can get to stay relaxed.
- Choose your shopping shoes for their comfort not style. You need plenty of cushioning to counteract those endless hours on your feet.
- Wear comfortable clothing as well, and, if it’s cold out, have a few layers so you can peel them off and pile them on as you move from the streets to the warm shop interiors and back out again.
- Wear a fanny pack (aka bumbag) rather than carrying a shoulder bag, and try to keep its contents to the bare minimum.
- Any slight aches and pains you feel after a day out shopping, grab an ice pack and apply to the affected area for 20 minutes, before removing for at least two hours. Repeat several times over a day or two until you feel better.
A Little Rest and Relaxation
- When having a serious shopping day, take a break every 45 minutes, or more often if you feel the need.
- In a mall or a shopping area where lockers are provided, use one to store your shopping bags as you acquire them. Or if you can park close by, drop the bags in the trunk every so often.
- If you’re hungry, eat something light or you’ll feel very sluggish when you resume shopping. It can also be dangerous to burden your system then continue with what can amount to physical exercise.
- Coffee may seem like a good idea as a quick boost, but it adds extra stress to the system. As for soda, that’s also not a good idea…ever. Stick with water.
Shopping With Children
- Children and extended shopping trips don’t go together. Not only will they tire before you do and want to go home, they will want to buy everything in every shop. That’s a double whammy of whining that’s going to stress you out. Try and get someone to look after them instead.
That’s a Wrap
- When you have a mound of gifts to wrap, make sure you don’t sit or stand in one position for too long, or you’ll start to ache. Vary your position, but avoid wrapping while sitting on the floor, even when carpeted, as this is very bad for your posture.
- It may sound a little OTT, but stretch before and after wrapping your gifts.

As a chiropractor, we very often hear people talk in our office about “getting sick.” I like to challenge their thoughts and suggest that it is really more of a case of us “doing sick.”
Sickness, disease, a cold or the flu are each far more related to what choices we make each day. Bad luck, and “catching a bug,” are not really what happens. After all, people around you often don’t catch the same bug that you did, even though they touched the same door knobs and breathed the same air.
The Secret
The secret here lies in your immune system. If it is working right, you can breathe in dangerously bad germs all day long and not get sick.
Your immune system plays such an enormous role in the overall health of literally every cell and tissue in the body. Not only is it the immune system’s job to protect from coughs and colds but also it helps fight against cancer; repair damaged joints and slow down the aging process.
We Can Help!
Our team are experts who would love to help identify your list of the most common things that will enable your immune system to crash and allow your body to “do sick”. More importantly we are more passionate in helping you develop the habits that will build up your immune system that will keep you healthy and strong for the long run.
