Chiropractor Approved Gifts!

Holidays are just around the corner and whether you are shopping for a loved one (or yourself!), here are some gift suggestions that are chiropractor-approved!

Massage gun – Wrapping, unwrapping. And repeat. Alongside the shoveling that comes with the winter season, a massage gun might be just the thing to tackle those muscle knots. We also recommend ones with an optional heat setting to really promote blood flow into those tight and stiff areas!

Supportive pillow - We know how tiring the holidays can be – you’re running around from shopping to social events. However, it’s important that you and your loved ones are taking care of yourselves by getting a good night’s rest! Keep your neck comfortable and supported while you sleep!

Slippers – Falls are a common cause of injuries and fractures (not only when we are walking outdoors over ice). If you have hardwood in the home, having a good home slipper can help prevent common household falls (and dry feet!) provided that they have rubber grips at the bottom for traction, adequate counters or a backing, are a good fit for your foot size, and are super cozy!

Resistance bands – We love how versatile and multipurpose this gift is! It can be used for stretching, strengthening or stability – all important aspects of your overall physical health.

Jenga – A great stocking stuffer for any age group and a perfect way to spend the time with your family and friends after your holiday meal. Board games are a great way to engage in some friendly competition while also improving your fine motor skills and dexterity!

Fitness classes – Does your close friend or loved one have their sights set on a new activity like yoga, kickboxing, rock climbing, or something else? Consider purchasing a trial for them to experience the activity.
