Many people take good health for granted until all of a sudden they are in pain, possibly from injuries incurred in an accident, sports activity, or on the job. Also, your daily habits and choices have a great deal to do with your overall health. Do you smoke, drink, overeat, have poor posture, sit all day long, avoid people, and the list goes on. This is the time to make a resolution for the new year to either maintain the good health you are already in or to restore your health as much as possible. A good start to reaching your goal is by achieving chiropractic wellness. This means:

• You will have increased energy
• Your health will be restored with the ability to maintain it
• You have a greater ability to relax
• You enjoy your daily activities
• Your body can move better without pain
• You have clearer thinking and reasoning functions
• Your body’s inner healing power has been enhanced

Here are 12 lifestyle tips offered by a chiropractor that will help you achieve your New Year’s goal of health and wholeness:

1. Have regular chiropractic adjustments to remove nerve interference in your spine.
