What Is Wellness

What is wellness?  This word can and does mean one thing for one person and can be night and day for the next person.  Wellness definition according to Merriam-Webster: The quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal.  From our standpoint we address wellness on an individual level, because everyone has different goals of what they think healthy is for them.  For some, wellness can be living life without symptoms.  For others, wellness is living life to their true potential with limiting symptoms.   In general, most think wellness is eating healthy, exercising, and living right!  So, to put our own twist on this game of what wellness is we incorporate chiropractic.  We start with what chiropractic is not:  it is not sick care, it is not back pain care, it is not supplemental care, it is not wellness care.  Chiropractic is HEALTH CARE for the entire family.

Sometimes we are confused on what health care is and what it is not.  Health care is not taking anything away from your body or giving your body any artificial “stimulation.”  Health care is allowing your own innate intelligence to flourish and grow on a day to day basis, thus encapsulating the word wellness!  Chiropractic allows wellness for individuals by SUPPORTING the innate intelligence of the central nerve system.  The central nerve system coordinates and controls every organ, gland, tissue, and cell in the body!  Chiropractors check and access your nerve system to make sure your entire body is connected via your nerve system.  Any disconnection in your body is apparent with signs and symptoms: muscle pain, headaches, constipation, infertility, etc.  So, by eating a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and having regular chiropractic check-ups you can ensure your wellness is in hand.  Life is a balancing act and we are here to help!
