T’was the day before Christmas, but there was no cheer. The people were sad; no gaiety sounded. but Santa was grounded. and what should he see? Now Santa was not one to like a new tactic, The office staff smiled, the music was sappy, It must be the hurry, the tension and all, just kids, toys and whistles, And Doc, take a look at the size of this pack! The Doctor was gentle; without a fuss or a tussle and relaxed every muscle. Santa felt aches and pains slipping away As he went out the door, he threw them a kiss; since he felt good as this! the bag full of toys, Merry Christmas! Have a safe and happy holiday.

No jingle bells jingled, no sound of reindeer.
The word had gone out that Santa was sick.
There would be no visit from jolly St. Nick.
For Christmas had come,
He drove down the road,
But a sign for a doctor, who was a D.C.
But all else had failed, so he tried Chiropractic.
He entered the office and saw at a glance,
in a place such as this, illness hasn’t a chance.
with all of the patients contented and happy.
In a very short time, to judge by the clock,
he was in the adjusting room, talking to Doc.
I simply can’t seem to get on the ball.
Life used to be easy;
now I dodge smog, spaceships and missiles.
Have you any idea what it does to my back?
Poor Santa was miserable and just barely able,
with the help of the Doctor, to get on the table.
he examined the vertebrae
He spotted trouble and then with a click,
started aligning the spine of old St. Nick.
and in no time at all he began to feel gay.(really?)
The air was a tingle with new fallen snow
and a healthy Kris Kringle was rarin’ to go.
why, it had been centuries
Then once more he shouldered
his heart overflowing with true Christmas joys.
Be aware of how you lift things like heavy packages, an armload of firewood or that frozen turkey. It's so easy to just bend over and pick up something too heavy. Lifting with your legs instead of your back, as well as keeping heavy items close to your body as you lift, may save you a trip to the chiropractor and certainly will minimize the chances of injury.

If you're doing the cooking and standing for extended periods of time, use a foot rest, stack of books or pieces of wood to elevate one foot about six inches above the floor. This will relieve tired leg and back muscles. When you use a foot rest and alternate each foot, it also helps to improve your posture. 
Joint pain from either cold or rainy weather is typically due to pre-arthritis or arthritis of the joints. The reason that joints ache when the weather shifts is debatable. Many experts feel as though scar tissue is at the source of this pain. chiropractic, chiropractor, spine, scoliosis, child development, back pain, health, body, http://www.drmcphail.com/ 843-873-2225 "Are you one of those people who knows when it is going to rain because your joints hurt? Are your joints sensitive to cold weather? If so, you are not alone.
As it turns out, scar tissue is believed to be very sensitive to the changes in barometric pressure that come with rain as well as extreme changes in temperature.
Once one of our joints has been injured in a fall, motor vehicle accident, work injury, etc., the process of joint degeneration begins. The initial injury causes irritation of the joint. The irritation leads to inflammation which later cause scar tissue formation. Scar tissue not only limits joint motion but can be a source of pain itself. This is why some long lasting chronic joint problems are associated with both pain and stiffness..."
