It’s that time again, Christmas is right around the corner!
Year after year, HealthWorks Family Chiropractic has enjoyed being a donation place for Christmas Cops, Plano Christmas Cops.
How did Christmas Cops begin?
The Plano Police Association Christmas Cops program began in 1984 during the Christmas Holiday season by a handful of compassionate Plano Police Officers. These men and women saw a tremendous need in the community and knew they could make a difference — and the Christmas Cops story began.
Several families in the community were known to be in dire circumstances, often unable to provide even the basic needs to their children. To assist these families, the Officers turned to the Plano community and requested donations of children’s toys, food items, and other necessities.
This winter will be different for everyone, and many will find it more challenging than usual. Plano Christmas Cops collect many items such as children’s toys, coats, and other needed items to donate to families in need they’ve met throughout the year during the course of their duties.
To help you can bring any toy, clothing, shoes, baby essentials such as diapers, wipes, and even gift cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I manage holiday stress naturally?
Practice daily gratitude, maintain sleep schedules, limit sugar intake, and take breathing breaks between activities. Regular exercise and saying “no” to overcommitments protects your mental and physical health during busy seasons.
Chiropractic adjustments reduce stress hormones and improve nervous system balance during challenging holiday periods.
Why does my back hurt more during holidays?
Holiday stress increases muscle tension, while travel, different beds, and lifting packages strain your spine. Stress eating and reduced exercise during festivities also contribute to increased pain and inflammation.
HealthWorks offers special holiday hours to keep Plano families aligned and pain-free through the season.
Can chiropractic care boost holiday mood?
Yes, adjustments increase endorphin production and reduce cortisol, naturally improving mood and energy. Proper spinal alignment also enhances sleep quality, crucial for maintaining emotional balance during stressful times.
