🎄🎁 Anyone else wrapping Christmas presents on the floor like this is an Olympic sport? 😅

Your back didn’t sign up for crouching, twisting, and hunching over tape for an hour straight. While the gifts are getting wrapped, your spine is quietly plotting its revenge…

✨ Pro tip:
Wrap at a table, take stretch breaks, and don’t try to “power through” the back pain.

If your back is feeling more bah humbug than holly jolly, a chiropractic adjustment can help get you back in the holiday spirit—without the aches and groans.

🎅 Your spine deserves some holiday cheer too.

🦃 Most Common Holiday Back Injuries 🎄
The holidays are fun… until your back reminds you it’s not a fan of lifting, decorating, or long travel days. The most common injuries we see this season:

• Lumbar strains from lifting/twisting with heavy boxes
• Disc issues from bending + twisting
• Sciatica flare-ups from long car/plane rides
• Mid-back strains from decorating overhead
• “Suitcase syndrome” from luggage lifting
• Neck/upper back tension from wrapping + stress
• Slips and falls on snow, ice, or ladders

👉 Move often, lift smart, and take breaks while decorating or traveling. Your spine will thank you!

Turns out chips don’t need Red-40 dye, after all! 🤦‍♂️🤪

🚫 The Hidden Dangers of Red 40 Dye 🚫

Did you know one of the most commonly used food dyes — Red 40 — is also one of the most controversial? This synthetic dye shows up in everything from snacks and sports drinks to cereals and candy… but your body may not be a fan.

Here’s what research is showing👇

❌ Behavioral + Mood Changes
Red 40 has been linked to increased hyperactivity, irritability, and attention issues in children who are sensitive to artificial dyes.

❌ Gut & Immune Irritation
Artificial dyes can contribute to low-grade inflammation and may disrupt the gut lining in certain individuals.

❌ Possible Hormone Disruption
Some studies suggest synthetic dyes can interact with hormone receptors — not something you want in your daily snacks.

❌ Common Allergy-Like Reactions
Hives, redness, and headaches can occur in people sensitive to the dye.
