Why Summer Is The Best Time of Year For Your Chiropractic Treatment

All year long, chiropractic treatments are beneficial. If you have ongoing spinal issues, or a troublesome pinched nerve, body aches and pains put a damper on enjoying activities that we love. With annual seasonal changes, our bodies require health treatment changes. The most impactful internal health changes to consider during the summer are visits to the chiropractor so you can protect your bone health and body for each season to come.

Summer is Perfect for Self Care

The days are warmer, and the nights are longer during the summer which makes scheduling appointments and errands significantly more enjoyable. With all of our appointments, the most important appointments that you book are for services that contribute to your well-being and long-term health. Indeed, Summer self-care is essential and a great investment in your self-care journey is to regularly visit the chiropractor. If you are wondering how to begin self-care, or if you regularly indulge in taking care of yourself, we suggest chiropractic treatments as an essential ingredient in self-care activities.

Release Toxins From Your Spine and Re-Connect Your Brain During The Summertime

That kink in your neck, the repeated stress injury in your foot, and even your hip disc discomfort are not the only things that benefit from a visit to the chiropractor in the summer. Each time that you visit the chiropractor, toxins are released from your body with each adjustment. Additionally, regular visits to the chiropractor for chiropractic adjustments are scientifically proven to connect your brain to your body. Chiropractic adjustments dramatically increase brain activity within the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain where increased cognition and learning occur. Connecting your spine to your prefrontal cortex has numerous benefits that improve a variety of cognitive functions that we use every single day, such as expressing, socializing and decision making. 

Reflect Seasonal Changes with Health Changes

During the summer, we change our wardrobes, we change our gardens, and with the rays of beautiful sunshine, we even change our moods with a sunny disposition and boost! Chiropractic treatments are an effective way to reflect all of the external changes that we see and do during summer internally.

The Relationship Between Heat and Muscle Relaxation

Blood vessels are very responsive to the temperature: with cold temperatures, blood vessels close, and with warm temperatures, blood vessels open up. Due to this, any tissue damage, or injury will have a shorter recovery time, and a greater sense of relief after a chiropractic visit during the summer months as an increase in blood flow stimulates healing.  

We love summer, our blood vessels love summer, and coincidentally, our brain's prefrontal cortex is also an avid fan!
