Help Your Patients during the Holiday Season

Roanoke, Va – The holiday season is a joyous and stressful time of year for everyone. It involves lots of shopping, traveling, cooking, and gift-wrapping. During this time of year, it’s important to talk to your patients about taking good care of their bodies so they can be pain-free and enjoy these special days.

Carrying heavy bags, pushing heavy carts, sitting for long periods of time, and bending over frequently can all take a toll on the body. The excess stress and strain on the body can cause pain and even make it easier to get sick. Foot Levelers can bring your patients some relief for this busy season!

Stabilizers support all three arches of the foot to create a balanced foundation for the spine. They work with your chiropractic adjustments to help keep the spine in its proper alignment – keeping patients free from pain. Research has even shown that Stabilizers reduce fatigue, meaning your patients can still be going strong after a full day of traveling!

Here are some tips to share with patients to help them have a happy holiday season:

  • Be sure to wear properly fitting shoes with lots of cushion when you are going to be on your feet for long periods of time. Also, drink plenty of water.
  • Take breaks during long shopping trips and do not carry around too many packages at one time, only what is necessary.
  • When you are traveling and have to sit for long periods of time, place a rolled up towel in the curve of your lower back to reduce the amount of stress on your spine.
  • Do not wrap packages while sitting on a hard floor and be sure to stretch before and after gift wrapping.
