Wellness Care

The definition of wellness care has changed within the past several years. It used to be considered as having a routine examination or procedure performed even though there were no particular problems present. Some people used to call this type of care a "check up" at the dentist, optometrist, gynecologist etc.

Wellness Care today is totally different and means "optimum health". This care begins by the patient taking responsibility for their own health. Each person has unique needs in order to experience optimal well being. Some need to correct diet and weight issues while others need to become more physically fit and change their nutrition. People focus on wellness care for a variety of reasons; some people have diseases which are present in their family genetics such as heart disease, diabetes or aging disorders and other people want to prevent or slow down the aging process as much as possible.

Wellness health care is pro-active health care. It is the idea that health is not an accident it is a choice. It begins with the simple things, getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, spending time in the sun, hanging out with family and friends. It means regular “check-ups” with your doctor, not because you have to, but because you want to know if there is a problem so you can change your lifestyle to fix it early.

Wellness care is regular chiropractic adjustments (come on, you knew we were going to include that).

Chiropractic helps remove pressure on your spinal cord, allowing nerves to work properly, and it helps foster a more responsive nervous system, reducing chances of the “throwing your back out” incidents due to poor muscular coordination
