Ever notice how your back somehow hurts more on holidays?
Here’s the surprise: it’s usually not the weather, not your age, and not “sleeping wrong.”
It’s because your routine disappears.
You start moving in weird ways you don’t normally do — lifting boxes, bending for decorations, standing too long in the kitchen, long drives, awkward sleeping setups, or doing weekend-level chores for several days straight.
Your body is used to its weekday rhythm… and the holiday chaos throws everything off.
The spine gets stiff, the muscles tighten, and old issues start firing up again.
If you’re already feeling it, you’re not alone — this is one of the most common flare-up weeks of the year.
At The Chiropractic Doctors in Grand Rapids, MI, we help people reset their alignment and get ahead of those holiday aches before they turn into something bigger.
