BETTENDORF, IOWA (January 6, 2026) — As daylight fades and temperatures drop, millions of Americans experience a dip in mood and motivation known as the winter blues. Nelson Chiropractic is helping the community stay healthy and happy through natural, holistic remedies that address both body and mind.
“Sunlight affects our serotonin levels, which influence mood, energy, and sleep,” says Dr Traci Nelson-Johnson of Nelson Chiropractic. “When those levels drop, we can feel tired, unmotivated, or even sad. But we can rebalance the body naturally.”
Nelson Chiropractic offers several holistic approaches to fight seasonal mood changes:
- Chiropractic Care and Massage Therapy — to reduce nervous system stress and boost endorphins.
- BrainTap Therapy — light and sound sessions that retrain the brain for calm and focus.
- Daylight Lamps — proven to help 60–80% of people experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
- Essential Oils and Nutrition — uplifting scents and vitamin D, omega-3s, and magnesium-rich foods support mental health.
- Exercise & Mindset — movement and mindfulness help regulate mood naturally.
“Light, movement, and nutrition are powerful tools. Combined with chiropractic and relaxation therapies, they can make winter your season of renewal,” says Dr Nelson.
