Wellness Care
Most people measure their health simply by whether or not they have pain and/or symptoms. This is a mistake. Pain is a great motivator to seek help, but periodic maintenance can reduce the chances of something dramatic happening. In my career, when someone has had a major episode, they often say “I didn’t do anything! I only reached down to pick something from the floor”. A simple movement that can cause a very painful result, due to lack of spinal flexibility, excess muscle tension, mis-alignment or blockage.
Most injuries & disease processes begin with no pain and may take months or years before pain or symptoms even surface.
Our Wellness patients understand this concept. Much the same as visiting a dentist periodically for a cleaning to avoid more complicated future issue.
With Chiropractic care many of patients have experienced improvement in: ability to perform activities of daily living and activities of enjoyment, athletic performance, strength, balance, blood pressure, breathing measurements, flexibility, digestion, posture, sleep patterns, energy level, attitude and mental clarity. Essentially, how you should normally be, not what you have adapted to be.
Clinical evidence has shown a reduced need/use of pharmaceutical drug use and a dramatic reduction in spinal surgeries. In 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends spinal manipulative therapy for non-surgical lower back pain and recommends against many commonly prescribed drugs.
