January Is the Perfect Time to Reset Your Spinal Health

January is a fresh start—not just for goals and routines, but for your spine and nervous system as well.

After the holidays, many people in Glen Carbon and Edwardsville notice more back pain, neck stiffness, and reduced mobility. Long drives, cold weather, less movement, and disrupted routines all take a toll on spinal health. The good news? January is one of the best times of the year to reset and rebuild.

Why Spinal Health Matters More Than You Think

Your spine does more than support your posture—it protects your nervous system, allows efficient movement, and plays a key role in how your body manages stress and pain.

When spinal motion is limited or poorly controlled, you may experience:

• Recurring low back pain

• Neck tension and headaches

• Stiffness with bending or rotation

• Reduced exercise performance

• Pain that keeps coming back

True spinal health isn’t about temporary relief—it’s about restoring proper movement, stability, and control.

Winter Habits That Stress the Spine

January often brings habits that quietly overload the spine:

• Sitting more due to cold weather

• Reduced daily movement and exercise

• Poor posture while working from home

• Shoveling or lifting without proper mechanics

• Jumping back into workouts too aggressively

Without addressing these factors, pain often returns—even if you’ve tried rest, stretching, or medication.

What a Spinal “Reset” Actually Looks Like

At Superior Chiropractic & Rehab, spinal health is approached through movement-based care, not quick fixes.

A true reset focuses on:

• Improving spinal mobility where it’s restricted

• Stabilizing areas that are overworking

• Restoring proper movement patterns

• Strengthening supporting muscles

• Teaching you how to move better in daily life

This approach helps reduce pain and lowers the likelihood of flare-ups later in the year.

Make 2026 the Year You Move Better

Most people wait until pain forces them to act. January is the perfect time to be proactive.

If you want:

• Less back and neck pain

• Better posture and mobility

• Improved workouts and daily movement

• Long-term spinal health—not short-term relief

Now is the time to start.
