Christmas is around the corner and the shops are filling up with frenzied buyers looking to tick off their lists. But our team at Witney Chiropractic Clinic are warning all Christmas shoppers to take care of their backs this festive period.

According to our chiropractors, simple things can make a big difference when it comes to keeping your spine safe during busy shopping periods. For example, using a trolley wherever you can and parking as close to the shops as possible can really help to lessen the load on your spine. Drinking lots of water and staying hydrated throughout your shopping trip can also reduce the risk of inflammation.

Remember that you’ll be no good to anyone over Christmas when you’re laid up with back pain, so make sure you put your spine first!
