A new year is upon us and with it is our annual new year’s resolutions. The most popular ones are losing weight, getting in shape, reducing stress, sleeping better, traveling more, and stopping smoking.

Sadly, most of us give it our all for January, but we have submitted to defeat by February. The year 2023 can be different if at the top of your list is: an appointment with a chiropractor.

What is the Function of a Chiropractor?

A chiropractor provides complementary medicine with the philosophy that your body can heal by keeping your spine and joints in alignment. Chiropractic treatment focuses on the spine and provides a holistic approach to keeping your body in top shape so you can go out and enjoy your life.

Thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves are your nervous system’s roots that send information to your entire body, and every bodily function relies on the health of your spine. Chiropractic work is a serious business.

How does a Chiropractor Provide Care?

Chiropractic care uses hands-on manipulation to relieve symptoms or pain in your body.

• A Chiropractor can reduce neck pain with cervical spine manipulation.
• A Chiropractor can reduce lower back pain with spinal manipulation.
• A Chiropractor can ease chronic headache symptoms with cervical and thoracic spine manipulation.
• A Chiropractor can improve posture to help correct the results of sitting too much.
• A Chiropractor can reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis by aligning joints and reducing bone-to-bone contact.

So How Can a Chiropractor Help Me with My 2023 Resolutions?

Routine visits to a chiropractor are just a valuable part of a healthy lifestyle. It is the one step most people don’t consider when making their resolution “To Do” list.

If a person is in pain, it prevents them from doing what they want. It’s a domino effect the body reacts to that can make the enthusiasm of a person’s resolution fade away. The reason is that it just plain hurts too bad.

Visualize how 2023 can be different than any other year. The first step is to visit the chiropractor’s office.

The chiropractor listens to what your intentions are, examines your body, makes some adjustments, and you leave the office feeling 2 inches taller and without pain.

With your body’s circulation and nervous system functioning, you’re feeling good and inspired to eat right and go to the gym. Chiropractic spinal adjustment has also tapered down stress and anxiety.  The freedom of exercising helps your body relax and fall into a deep and restful sleep at night.

After a week, you may have overdone, and your body may be out of alignment again.  After a routine visit to your chiropractor, you can start the week out with enthusiasm again because your pain has subsided, and you’ve received some workout tips from your chiropractor.

If you continue on this path with the weekly support of your chiropractor, you could be looking at substantial weight loss and feeling strong within a short period. You might be so successful that you can book a flight to a beach and model the new swimsuit you purchased.

There is one more loose end to your 2023 resolutions, and that may be to quit smoking. Your chiropractor may be able to help you stop that habit too.

Some chiropractors are very enthusiastic about participating in training for intervention protocol to help their patients quit smoking. The study for tobacco treatment in a chiropractic setting was very successful.
