Flatirons Health Center

303-448-90982975 Valmont Road, Suite 200, Boulder

Flatirons Health Center Shopping and cooking and gift-wrapping, oh my! There’s a lot to do before, during and after the holiday season and it’s no surprise that most people get rundown. Winter can be a stressful season and while they’re may be no way to avoid it, chiropractic adjustments are a great way to help heal the effects on the body, and increase your resistance to stress, illness and injury.

When our body experiences stress, the sheaths around our nerves constrict, resulting in a restriction of signals from the brain. A chiropractic adjustment can decrease the pressure on the nerves, once again allowing the signals to reach their destinations.

In addition, chemicals in your body raise and lower blood pres-sure and body temperature, help digest food, control mood and eliminate waste. These chemicals – such as insulin and adrenaline – along with antibodies, help fight infections and prevent disease. As with the blockage of signals, when the nerves don’t receive these chemicals, illness can result. Getting adjusted regularly helps your body restore the natural chemical delivery resulting in healthier organs and a better-equipped immune system.

Dr. Jeff Walters, a trained chiropractor, can locate and correct these spinal joint dysfunctions, which can not only treat and prevent back and neck pain, but also increase your body’s ability to cope with stress during the holidays and year round. Before you seek out drugs or over-the-counter medicines, give chiropractic a chance. It could be the help you need to make this winter the best season yet!

Flatirons Health Center is located inside the Centennial Creek Office Park and is open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Wednesdays, 10:30 a.m. – 7 p.m.; and Saturdays, 9:30 a.m. – noon.
