Relieve the pain of summer vacation travel with chiropractic treatment

Along with the summer that has come upon us, there are several other things that come with it.  Warm weather, more outdoor activities, kids being bored at home because there is "nothing to do," and vacations.  Like most of you, I can still remember family vacations as a kid during the summer time.

Many of our vacations revolved in some way around baseball.  While living in Louisiana as a child, I remember a summer vacation when we went over to Houston.  During the day, our whole family would do SeaWorld or other fun outdoor activities and at night my dad would take my older brother and me to the Houston Astrodome to watch a series between the Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves (our favorite team).  Later, while living in central Illinois, our vacations would generally involve driving down to St. Louis and doing Six Flags during the day, and – you guessed it – baseball games at night between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves at Busch Stadium.

As a child, I never really thought much about how hard trips like this can be on your body.  Vacations typically involved getting up really early and driving for several hours in order to get to the theme park by the time it opened.  Then, you walk around in the hot sun all day and get exhausted.  After the park, you manage to find some dinner somewhere before heading out to the ballgame to sit in uncomfortable seats for a few hours before finally heading back to a hotel and sleeping in an uncomfortable bed for only a few hours before getting up the next morning to do it all again.

You could probably say the same for most family vacations whether they are to the beach, to the mountains, flying overseas, or just driving across the state to visit relatives.  These trips take a toll on your body.  After all, there is a saying that goes, "I need a vacation to recover from my vacation."

This is where The Joint Chiropractic may be able to help you out.  With over 250 locations across the country (and at least a hundred more planned), we've got your back.  Whether you are a member with us or use our package visits, they are good at any location around the country.  The doctor in that location (although they won't be as good as the doctors at Sugar House) will have your history and treatment protocols.  You won't have to go through any of the hassle of re-examinations or new x-rays and you'll be in and out in a convenient manner so that you can get on with your vacation.
