The Wellness Approach
Wellness is a state of optimal conditions for normal function… and then some. The wellness approach is to look for underlying causes of any disturbance or disruption (which may or may not be causing symptoms at the time) and make whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments would optimize the conditions for normal function. That environment encourages natural healing, and minimizes the need for invasive treatment, which should be administered only when absolutely necessary. When the body is working properly, it tends to heal effectively, no matter what the condition. When the body heals well and maintains itself well, then there is another level of health that goes beyond “asymptomatic” or “pain-free” which reveals an open-ended opportunity for vitality, vibrant health, and an enhanced experience of life. This is true for mental and emotional health as well as physical health.
If a patient has high blood pressure, a standard medical approach would be to choose a drug that lowers blood pressure, and ask the patient to take the drug. This may serve to lower the blood pressure, but ignores the underlying cause that is making the blood pressure high, and runs the risk of side effects complicating the person’s recovery. Whether it’s a nutritional issue, faulty control by the nerve system or a manifestation of stress, the medication could decrease the blood pressure, leaving the problem causing the symptom of high blood pressure unaddressed.
The main difference between wellness care and standard medical care is that wellness care seeks to turn on the natural healing ability. Wellness care does not add something to the system, instead it removes anything that might interfere with normal function. Wellness care trusts that the body would know what to do if nothing were interfering with it. Standard medical care, on the other hand, seeks to treat a symptom by adding something from the outside – a medication, a surgery or procedure.
Evolution of Chiropractic
Chiropractic care has evolved over the years. Most people are under the misconception that chiropractors simply move bones and joints. In fact, the greatest benefit of chiropractic now being discovered is the improvement in brain function. This improvement helps re-establish appropriate regulation of all the body's systems and responses, including the response to stress. Current medical research states that 95% of all diseases/illnesses are caused by stress.
Network Spinal Analysis Care
This is a scientifically-proven form of chiropractic that uses gentle, painless touches to the spine. It assists the brain in developing new strategies for the body to adapt to stress, dissipate tension, experience greater well-being, and create a more self-reliant and aligned spine.
Biofeedback Technology
With recent technology advances, a Stress Response Evaluation can now be conducted using biofeedback technology revealing critical health information about the nervous system and its response, or lack of, to our daily stress. The effect of chiropractic care on brain function can now be measured. Duration, intensity, and frequency of care are based on objective outcomes. We specialize in the most advanced and proven techniques, including:
- Chiropractic Manipulation
