Do you suffer from neck pain, headaches, or stiffness? Have you considered a visit to the chiropractor? Incredible changes can occur with chiropractic care! First things first, where does this pain come from? Essentially, the muscles in your neck attaching to individual vertebrae have become tight. This can result in pain, and restricted motion. This can be due to injury, overuse, or postural stresses. What can a chiropractor do? A chiropractor will adjust these restrict...ed areas. An adjustment is a specific, low force manipulation. This is meant to decrease pain, restore motion, and decrease muscle tension. Questions? Send me a message, or visit https://linktr.ee/dr.shannon to book!

The time leading up to Christmas during a pandemic can mean a lot of different things. It could be hunching over a laptop trying to finish those last little bits of work before the holidays, or wrapping a ton of Christmas gifts for friends and family. I always find that I catch myself sitting very hunched over, making sure the wrapping paper sits just right! Slouching forward puts unecessary stress on the spine, and can eventually lead to injury. Take the time to give your...self a gift this holiday season- the gift of health! Try not to neglect that spine- Santa and his elves couldn't do their jobs with sore backs, so neither should you!

Let's make sure you have a happy, healthy holiday season! #adjustment #womeninchiropractic #drgow #happyhealthyholiday #healthy #chiropractor #kitchener #waterloo #healthcare #chiropractic #alternativecare
