WELLNESS AND PREVENTION
Background
We believe that prevention is better than a cure, and being your best is key to achieving balance, wellness and the highest quality of life.
The goal of chiropractic care is not just to alleviate pain, but to also ensure proper nervous system health. Our gentle approach to chiropractic care is built on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of the body.
To help you to attain your goal of total body wellness and/or pain-free movement and function, we offer preventative programs uniquely tailored to your individual needs. And to help you make chiropractic a regular part of your health routine – like getting regular physician or dental hygiene check-ups.
The positive end result of regular chiropractic care is what we all want: a healthier body, less stress, more energy and greater resistance to disease.
Prevent Injuries
Many people often think that they only need to see a chiropractor when they are in pain. We certainly see patients who are suffering from maladies like sciatica, various sports injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, back or neck pain. But chiropractic does more than simply alleviate discomfort; it is a science designed to help you prevent injury and lifelong discomfort.
Everyday events such as improperly lifting an object, sleeping in the wrong position, or poor posture can put strain on the spine and cause subluxation, which leads to an unbalanced body. Regular visits to a chiropractor can help to strengthen your muscles, keep your vertebrae properly aligned, and preserve your overall well-being.
Take Charge of Your Health
The last few years have brought many new discoveries and advances in pro-active health care. From probiotics to new ways to exercise, people are starting to take steps to stay healthier longer.
Chiropractic care can play a bigger role in helping you stay healthy than you may realize. Because chiropractors work with the spine and, thus, your nervous system, they can have an enormous positive effect on your everyday health.
Have you ever wondered why you sometimes become sick for “no reason at all”? When your nervous system is stressed, you are much more prone to illness. Even when we feel like we are on the right path, a stressed nervous system can override much of the good we’re doing for ourselves.
Some of the most common symptoms of a stressed nervous system are:
-
Fatigue
-
Allergies/Sinus Problems
-
Headaches
-
Mood Swings
-
Sleep Disturbances
It is often difficult to consider these maladies as anything more than the result of dealing with “the daily grind”. But these symptoms point to greater, overall stress that can wear you down and can be counterproductive to steps you take towards good health.
Luckily, chiropractic care can address the underlying nervous system stress that most of us contend with on a daily basis. When your spine is aligned properly, you remove the pressure from your nervous system and allow your nerves to express themselves freely. Your body will then be able to repair itself more effectively and function better overall.
A healthy lifestyle should naturally incorporate preventative care for optimal results. If you feel like something is missing from your wellness routine – or if you want to address chronic health issues that have been bothering you – you’ve come to the right place.
