Holiday stress can cause a lot of lasting issues that continue to affect your life long after the holidays are over. If your holiday stress has caused neck strain and headaches in Greenwood Village, Dr. Donald W. Gibson, Dr. Byron Voelkert, and the rest of the team here at Belleview Spine and Wellness can help you find relief.

How Does Holiday Stress Cause Neck Strain?

When you’re under additional stress, it can affect your posture, causing your shoulders to tense and hunch, and your head to hang. Over time, this results in neck pain and strain. Other common holiday-related causes of neck pain and strain include:

  • Traveling by car or plane
  • Sleeping in an unfamiliar bed
  • Standing or walking for long periods
  • Spending more time than usual looking downwards at a phone, computer, or cookbook
  • Missing out on your normal exercise routine

Holiday Stress and Headaches

Stress is one of the most likely causes of headaches and migraines, and the additional stress you experience during the holidays can cause or increase the frequency of your headaches. Certain environmental factors that exist during the holidays can also be triggers for headaches and migraines, including:

  • Food sensitivities
  • Alcohol
  • Caffeine withdrawal
  • Bright lights and loud noises
  • Lack of sleep
  • Hormonal changes

Chiropractic Treatment Options

One of our chiropractors will help you determine the cause or triggers for your headaches and neck strain so that they can treat the underlying cause rather than just the symptoms. They will focus on providing stress relief, pain reduction, and preventative care. Combining chiropractic treatments may offer you faster, more lasting relief. One of our chiropractors will also provide education and resources that will help you manage your symptoms at home, avoid triggers, and reduce the risk of your pain becoming chronic.
