What is Wellness?

WHAT IS WELLNESS?

WELLNESS DEFINED--

1)  The degree to which we experience health and happiness.
2)  All Cells functioning at 100% Health--According to the World Health Organization, Health is  "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." 

Wellness has become a buzzword in today's society, especially around here.  Everyone is trying to sell you some sort of snake oil, pill, or wonder drug to give you "the missing piece to my health and happiness."  The truth is, wellness is now an everyday term that is largely misunderstood and misused.  Most people think that if they feel good and nothing hurts, then they are well.  Nothing could be further from the truth!

Studies show that 75-95% of deaths in the United States are preventable. NB This statistic would be very similar in Australia.  Poor lifestyle choices are directly accountable for 99.8% of sickness and disease in our country!  Yes, 99.8%!  Bad genes and bad luck have nothing to do with most illnesses! 

After studying Wellness and Chiropractic as a lifestyle, here is what I know.  In order to help someone become healthy, you must first change how they think about their lifestyle choices, and what health means.  New research has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that a properly functioning spine is ABSOLUTELY needed for your nervous system to do what it is designed and programmed to do.  In today’s society chiropractic care has become a must for various reasons. Sedentary living, toxic lifestyle choices, and birth trauma all cause your spine and nervous system to function less than optimally (If you’ve been unaware of this, please read our “Kids and Chiropractic”section to find out what it is). All cause your spine and nervous system to function less than optimally.  And we are the ONLY profession trained improve how your nervous system works through specific adjusting techniques.

Wellness Chiropractors are the most qualified of any professional when it comes to wellness…our post doctorate education is designed especially for it!  How so, you ask?  Well, it is because we look at your body through a different paradigm.  (What’s a paradigm, you ask?  A paradigm is the lens through which you view the world, a philosophical view which guides each and every decision we make.)  

So, as you can see, our view is that we offer much more than “crackin backs.”  I hope this gives you an idea of just what it is that we do here.  Please, find yourself a wellness doctor!
