With basketball season in full swing, here is why you should see a chiropractor if you play basketball:

Basketball is a sport that requires extreme athleticism.

Basketball players at the highest levels can jump, run, and perform athletic feats in ways that most of the population could only dream of.

However, basketball also poses a significant injury risk. A sprained ankle, for example, can put an athlete out of commission for weeks, months, or even longer.
The nervous system is involved, in some way, with every single process in the body. When an injury or subluxation prevents the spinal cord from conveying and receiving messages to and from the body’s tissues, problems tend to arise.

Furthermore, having a suboptimal alignment in the spine is often associated with decreased athletic performance. Through receiving regular chiropractic treatment, basketball players and other athletes can restore their spines to perfect health and thereby improve their athletic performance.

Are you a basketball player who has been looking for ways to recover from injury or improve performance? If so, it’s time for you to stop by Advanced & Neck Pain Center. Book your appointment today!

Here are 7 things you can do to enjoy your holiday treats in a healthier way:
1. Don't skip meals.
Skipping meals may seem like a good way to reduce the amount of calories you consume, but is likely to make you eat more food faster when you finally do eat. Make sure to keep your regular meal schedule so your body can trust you to provide.

2. Fill your plate with colors.
Aim to cover half of your plate with colorful, festive fruits and vegetables. This will increase the nutritional value of your meal, help you feel full quickly and decrease the number of calories you consume.

3. Eat slowly, and savor your food.
Don't be too quick to scarf down your food. Learn to savor every bite. Try using every few minutes to focus on a different aspect of your meal. Using all the senses will help you not only enjoy your food more thoroughly, but also extend the time it takes to eat.

4. Appreciate special treats.
Many celebrations occur only once a year and are accompanied with foods that are not available other times of the year. Pick one or two foods that are special for you and take your time to savor those foods. Having a special treat once a year will not make or break your weight, so enjoy a few but skip the rest.

5. Choose drinks wisely.
Many holiday drinks are high in calories or sugar, and it's easy to have multiple drinks without thinking. Stick with low- or no-calorie drinks like water, tea or sparkling water, and reserve your calories for the foods you enjoy instead.

6. Listen to your body's fullness signals.
Pay close attention to how you feel while eating. Eating until we are full does not mean eating until we are sick. Choose to slow down and stop eating when you feel you are getting full. This may even mean waiting a few minutes to see how you feel before finishing your plate or getting second helpings.

7. Pick a holiday food mantra.
When you are tempted to keep eating simply because the holiday foods are special and taste so good, use these mantras to help:

I can make this food again anytime I want.
The leftovers will be delicious.
I choose to enjoy this meal, and I look forward to the same treats next year.

If you've never been to a chiropractor consider these surprising chiropractic adjustment benefits:
1. Reduced inflammation: Inflammation is tied to many types of chronic pain. Chiropractic care reduces inflammation to improve your quality of life.
2.Enhanced flexibility: Tight muscles restrict your movement. Regular chiropractic care helps loosen them up so you can perform your daily activities with ease.
3. Boosted athletic performance: With less pain, reduced inflammation, and improved flexibility, your athletic performance gets a boost. You are also less likely to suffer a sports injury when you receive preventive chiropractic adjustments.
4. Increased blood flow to the brain: A properly aligned spine increases circulation throughout the body, including the brain. This can provide much-needed relief for people with neurological conditions such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.
5. Treatment for vertigo: Debilitating dizziness is often the result of a traumatic head or neck injury resulting in a misaligned spine. If you’re experiencing vertigo, a chiropractor may be able to help.
6. Lower blood pressure: Chiropractic adjustments targeting the cervical spine, or neck, can be just as effective at lowering blood pressure as taking blood pressure medication.
7. Boosted immunity: Your immune system is responsible for fighting off illnesses and infections. Even a slightly misaligned spine could interrupt immune function, a problem easily remedied by a chiropractic adjustment.
8. Reduced allergy symptoms: Allergies are the result of an exaggerated immune response. The underlying cause may be a misaligned spine interfering with signals from the brain. If so, visiting a chiropractor could help ease your symptoms.
9. Improved digestion: Problems with the nervous system in your thoracic spine, or middle back, can lead to acid reflux, gas, and heartburn. Regular chiropractic care can realign the vertebrae in this area, which may ease stomach issues.
10. Maximized lung function: Chronic back pain may reduce lung capacity. Treat your ailment with spinal adjustments, and soon you’ll be breathing deeply without pain.
11. Healthier pregnancies: Chiropractic care has been shown to ease pregnancy pain, alleviate symptoms of morning sickness, and make labor and delivery easier.
12. Improved balance: Coordination and balance tend to suffer the older you get. Keeping your nervous system in good shape with routine chiropractor visits can help improve your balance as you age.

Did I say 12 day I meant 13...

13. Sleep more soundly: Chronic pain and muscle tension from a misaligned spine can wreak havoc on your sleep patterns.
Realign your spine, and you’ll enjoy a more peaceful slumber.

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s almost time to carry all that Christmas shopping. Not to mention the dozen other chores that the festivities bring with them

1.Carry the Same Amount of Weight in Both Hands – Distribute Evenly

When you have to carry two bags, try to match their weights. Both your hands should have to bear roughly the same weight. Otherwise the misbalance will put stress on your spine.

2.Walk at a Normal Pace

Walking slowly and dawdling is a pretty common trigger for back pain. You don’t have to run, just walk at a good and consistent pace.

3.Make a List and Check it Twice

Before you head into town, make a list of the things you need and possible alternatives. This will help you shop quickly, without tiring you out, at least not as much.

4.Revisit Your Car During Shopping

When you have 2-3 bags on your hands, drop them off in your car and then head back to the store/shop to continue your holiday shopping marathon.

5. Don’t Rush

Its alright to be excited during your Christmas shopping. Just don’t carry the shopping bags in a rush. Be careful, and use your legs and core muscles. And lift straight!

6.Don’t Do These 3 Thing Together

Twist, bend and lift – don’t try to do these at the same time!
